    We are on this forum because we love our VFR's right? I watched a movie on Prime called EMP 333 and my post is about protecting our VFR's from shutting down from an mass EMP whether is on purpose or from some seismic event or whatever could cause a mass EMP on the earth. No one know when that kind of thing could happen but I want a bike that survives.

    The most dense metals are Osmium, Iridium, and Lead.

    They have lead Tape that golfers use, and they sell iridium tape too.

    Have any of you considered how to keep your ECU controlled bike protected. The ECU isn't the only thing but any chip could potentially suffer if such a thing happened.

    What can we do.

    Carbureted vehicles prior to Fuel injection have a lesser chance.

    Disconnect the battery or enclose bike in a faraday cage.

    If the EMP is strong enough to bother your VFR, you are going have many other more important failures, like your car, your phone, etc.
