I have been carrying FENIX flashlights for 6 or so years.
I currently carry the Fenix TX22 2014 edition.
Previously, I carried:
Fenix TK22
Fenix TK21
EDIT: Forgot, I had the Fenix TK15 as well.
Fenix TK12
All of them take 18650 batteries (one of the reasons I bought them). None have failed me due to water/rain (western Washington), dropsies, or anything like that. I am a goober and wear my flashlight on a NiteIze stretchy belt holster. I use my flashlight daily and usually charge the battery when the "High" and "Turbo" setting are hard to tell apart.
I did get the Fenix remote switch for my TK-12 when I had that on one of my ARs, and it worked fine, but I am not tacticool enough, so I took it off. I did not think it took a lot of force to activate, but I just didn't think it needed to be on my AR, so now it sits somewhere in my bedroom, quietly pondering its short span of usefulness.
I'm serious about the rear tire pressure. It's probably around 35-40lbs of pressure right now. Get a really good tire pressure gauge... because you need one anyway. I could build a nice house for what you have invested in that bike, so don't be cheap and get a good one. Hell, even if you don't change the tire pressure like I'm suggesting, you still need a good tire pressure gauge.
There's a ton of $10 gauges floating around, but I've never found two that read the same, so all of them can be counted on to be inaccurate. But there are good, relatively inexpensive gauges out there. Avoid the digital ones unless you into the >$200 product lines. Not necessary unless you work on a racing team and 1/10lb differences are going to be appropriate and necessary for track condition changes. But GOOD dial-gauges with flexible hoses can be had for about $40-50. Intercomp and Joe's Racing both make reliable, accurate gauges, and they're almost as good as the ones for professional racing teams. Make sure these are 60lb gauges, because you can use them on your car and truck, too. Buy a good one once and you'll never need to buy another. I know you understand this idea.
You probably don't have an inner tube in that rear tire so don't go below 20lbs ever, although I've limped my Road King home on a tire going flat that had about 15lbs in it (an 800lb bike is NOT the same as the 475lb bikes that Harley recommended 15lbs of pressure for). but 22-25lbs is more than enough for the tire to retain its bead on the rim under almost all conditions (except drag racing, unless you're rolling on the throttle instead of dumping the clutch) and hitting a hard curb straight on at 50+mph, and then you'e already got other problems. But running 22-25lbs may make the difference between enjoying every minute of your ride and having to buy a football mouth guard to keep from breaking teeth. OK, you probably don't need the mouth guard, but the difference between 35-40lbs and 22-25lbs will be night and day. Give it a try?
This is good info. I did a bunch of pex work and I pressure test my stuff now with a bike pump, a test plug, and a spray bottle of soapy water. I got the little pressure test thing from ACE, (Only mine goes to 60 psi)

I have copper in my little house, but I HATE the way the person plumbed it. The water has to flow, even in a 1/2 pipe, to the bathroom sink for about 30 feet when the HWH is only about 6 feet away.
It's like they didn't sit back and go "sigh" this will take longer but it's better overall. They went "sigh" this will cost the previous homeowner 100 bucks more in copper pipe to just follow the old path that previous remodel locations which had organically grown had taken. Let's also put a pipe in front of a hatchway! Hooray!
The 64 dollar question is how do you make the pex that is all rolled up straight again without the expensive unwinder... I've tried a heat gun and VERY CAREFULLY with a torch and nothing really makes it flat straight. Nothing short of quick nail it to the stud and forget about it.
I'm not sure if you have this option but here is a better way to do it.
You only need one sensor. A pressure sensor. It will cost a hundred. Plumb it into the bottom. 1 PSI = 27.7" of water over the sensor.
This one is 0.5% accurate so it will be to go 0.25 PSI, or 6.925". So it would be accurate to 35.2 m3. Make sure to do your zero offset correctly.
