    T Rex Racing Heavy Duty Skid Plate mount review

    My oil drain holes also don't line up. Anyone determine if there is a way to adjust it?

    For all y'all fans of the DR.

    I would disagree with your neighbor. My understanding is that most gasoline (except for specific blends in CA etc) is refined to ~85 octane. Ethanol is 106 octane and is added as an octane booster to gasoline to get the appropriate octane level. So if your attempt is to have the least amount...

    Good suggestions. I thought the mounting mechanism was pretty flimsy.

    Which sizes did you get? I watched a few Youtube videos on them that were all good.

    I had ordered them about a week and a half ago. They came in Monday and I installed them this week. Seems they are one of the few companies that actually had them in stock so it was an easy decision.

    I ended up with the T-Rex crash bars and skid plate. I really like them and they are going to provide a lot of protection but they were a bear to install. I had trouble getting the bolts into the engine to start. I was getting worried that I wasn’t going to get them started and maybe damage...

    I'm accustom to people not knowing what I'm riding as I traded a Moto Guzzi V85TT in on the Super T and I also have a Moto Guzzi V7. Once at a gas stop a lady comes up and asked what kind of Harley I was riding. I told her it was a Moto Guzzi V7. She looked at me funny and asked again what...

    Part of the reason for buying the Super T was running in to two different riders at campground who both had 150K miles on their respective bikes with no issues other than wear items. I do a lot of long distance riding, so being 2000 miles from home I sometimes think about breakdowns and...

    A guy I occasionally ride with was all in on the orange bikes, but constantly complained about small issues with the bikes that would require a dealer visit. Nothing catastrophic just nagging issues. He sold them all and went all in on Ducati Desert X and sport bike. Time will tell if the...

    On Saturday I picked up my 2023 Super Tenere. I rode it around 250 miles on Sunday and I'm very happy with my purchase. I traded my 2020 Moto Guzzi V85TT Adventure for it. The MG is low geared for extended interstate highway runs, but would do it without issue. Just felt like I was...

    Thinking of buying a S10 for my next motorcycle. I'm currently riding a Moto Guzzi V85TT Adventure which is a really good bike. However, I'm doing a lot more cross country rides with long freeway stretches and would like a bike with a little more power at highway speeds. I'll ask more specific...
