Have you figured how to put compression releases on the shower head?

It comes with them.

Where the heck did they hide them? I'll have to poke around some more. On my '15 limited?

Went to the fiche, looks like hidden way under the rocker box.

Got it, but sure seems to drag some on start up like the other two did without CR's...

Worked like a champ. The drinks got warm, but no warmer than they would have sitting in the shade. The placement makes it a little awkward getting to the front shifter, but that passed once I got used to it.

This is a great accessory, and I enthusiastically endorse it.

Just got back from a multi-week camping trip through the desert. Riding into Las Vegas the ambient temps hit as high as 118*. Never had a cup holder on any bike I've owned. We do ride tank to tank when out west because things are so far apart. My practice is to drink an entire bottle of whatever (mostly water - no sugar drinks) at every gas stop. Gas, drink and pee. No pee means not enough liquid. I drink well over a gallon a day using his method and have never had an issue. Mesh jacket to keep the sun off you helps a lot.

Drink a lot at breakfast and before you go to bed at night to stay ahead of it.

A couple of guys had cup holders and you could have boiled shrimp in the liquid when we arrived. Never had a cup holder on any bike I've owned.

Behold the Hydro Flask. You want a cold drink when it's hot out? This is your thing.

When I did MV the first time as an Iron Butt in August ('12???)it was right at 100* and I used a CamelBak. That thing was (probably literally) a life saver. At each gas stop I would fill it (with permission, usually) with ice from the fountain drink dispenser and then top off with water. With its attached hose I was able to sip ICE WATER any time I wanted while riding, and it was heavenly. The ice would usually last between stops.

Maybe they've got better vacuum.

The Hydro Flask will keep drinks cold all day long. Mine keeps a drink cold all day long.
