    Indy McCuff
    The no-spill motorcycle fill McCuff®

    It's hard to top-off, not spill and also hold up the nozzle materials (boot) at the same time. The McCuff® will let you fill up one handed! You also don't need to look into your tank every few seconds to see where the gas level is at. No more OVERFLOWS!

    The McCuff® solves all these problems and more, and actually will amaze you from the very first time you use it as it.

    Fuel station nozzles are built to be compliant with Environmental Regulations in the U.S. This means that the auto-shutoff systems are built for Automobiles, and consequently, the system keeps triggering OFF when we bikers fill up because either the sensor is exposed too much to the open air, OR, the sensor is in too close proximity to the fueling in the tank. Hence, it thinks we are TOO FULL and triggers the click-click-click.

    The McCuff® "No Splash, No Spill, Motorcycle Fill" System will put those days behind us all! Try it!
