Maybe he said "I'm boring"?!?!? (just kidding, of course)

Maybe a different sensor? Think outside the box. I drilled
straight thru by caliper bracket & epoxied in a round radio
shack sensor.

Cold shower?

Think thin right angle metal bracket, plus hose clamps to clamp it to the
leg. This is how I mounted my brake hose guide when I switched
to rubber boot fork protectors.

I wish you luck. Sometimes quitting for a while & thinking on
solutions for a while is the best answer.

He did. He said you were boring. I remember now. ;-p

See, there's that injuneering background at work.

Salsa probably. And a little salt. Salt can make nearly anything
bearable.

Yeah, thanks. I like Chuck's electrical tape idea for the bar
clamp. Might give that a try here shortly. And then I'll check my misc
hardware drawer for hose clamp alternatives.
