can you go full lock on the steering...

can you easily adjust it with  tank bag on there...

I had my tank bag on yesterday and the controller is still easy to see and reach.

I actually figured out that I can position the bag far back enough to avoid interfering with full lock of the bars too

The Loctite 5 minute epoxy failed on the left grip when I went to pick it off the sidestand yesterday. Is grip glue special stuff or should my epoxy hold fine? I scuffed up the bar and cleaned it with brake cleaner so I'm not sure why it isn't holding that well. I let it sit overnight too.

Not sure I'm comfy with the concept of that honking cable tailing off the grip like that...I like heated grip wiring best where I can't see it.
