I know your won"t sit out much and it is most likley fairly dry where you are, but one important thing you should do is clear out the rain drain hole in the manifold. It is a small hole at the bottom of the exhaust surround not far from the 1/4" pipe plug. Use a piece of wire to root around in there as rust and crud will plug it up over time. It helps to have the engine running when doing it and when it opens up a very small amount of hot gas will acually blow out that hole so watch your fingers. I always thought rain caps were neat, but after having one on the M and H they came off after a while. The H flaps bad at idle. The M flaps only once in a while. I have seen a few that had a 1/2 or 9/16 nut wedged into the weight to help it open and not flap as bad but haven"t tried it yet. Hugh is right about the wind and extra weight would make that worse. One thing I noticed while on a tractor drive the rain cap seemed to deflect some exhaust down and when I took the cap off I didn"t get a face full of fumes out on the road as bad.

When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
