Interesting to hear that going from lots of light to not much light when you dip your headlights is a real issue, and not just me worrying unnecessarily. The Baja Designs harness I'm looking at has a switch that lets you toggle between 50% and 100%, so I guess I would set it to 50% when I'm in...

Thanks! That's exactly what I meant, side by side. Sounds like it'll work then. Interesting to hear that you've been stacking 3 of them... my only worry about stacking 2 is that it might be a bit high to then strap a waterproof duffel bag on top, which is what I intend to do. Then again, I do...

Thanks Tim! I was wondering more about width/length though... whether with the 2 gallon on the pillion rack, there would be enough room for the 1 gallon on the rear rack? Reason for the need to carry so much is because I'm planning trips to Baja and Canada/Alaska with my girlfriend, and her...

I know there are a few threads on Rotopax already, but I can't see the answer to my question in any of them (apologies if I've just missed it). Does anyone know whether, with the AltRider pillion rack and rear rack combination (with the rear rack in the low position to create a flat surface)...

I'm considering getting the Baja Designs Onx light bar, I already have the PIAA lp530 fog lights mounted to my Altrider engine bars to bolster the low beams, so I'd wire the Onx light bar to come on at 100% with the high beams but be off the rest of the time. However, I've never had such...

Thanks for the replies! Ok, so what I'm hearing is that the sight glass is useless/near-useless and so you're just supposed to fill it with the correct amount of oil at oil change time and then rely on faith between oil changes that the level hasn't dropped too low? Seems as though that leaves...

Ok, this might be a stupid question, but how do you see anything in that damned sight glass? It's so hidden away that even with a flashlight I can barely see the thing let alone whether there's any oil in it. I'm planning on doing my first ever oil change on a bike (I'm new to this sort of...

Thanks! I think I've totally changed my mind on what I intend to do though :) The more I look at the bike, the more I think the headlight looks cool without additional lights mounted underneath it. I also want to try to create this 'triangle of conspicuity' thing I read about. So instead, I...

Re: MotoJug Hydration System (20% Discount) Magnets... Interesting idea! Though I don't use a tank bag (don't like the things...) I do have a small handlebar bag, so I suppose I could put a magnet in that. Maybe there's something to this... Bag of gas station ice, plus empty a bottle of water...

Re: MotoJug Hydration System (20% Discount) This is an interesting idea... But I have two questions before I get too interested in it. 1) How would this fare if you ride off road? I imagine it would be destroyed in a crash, but also, would be bounced around all over the place anyway. 2) What...

Just bought a Super Tenere, so now it is time to plan farkles! I've read a few threads on here about additional lighting, though apologies in advance if I haven't read everything yet, there's a lot of info on here! Thought I'd post what I'm planning to do to see if anyone has any comments on...

Thanks everyone! I'll keep the refresh in mind WJ... I did test ride a used ES that had a few thousand miles on it before getting the one I have now, and that throttle was smooth as silk, so I'm hoping once mine has bedded in it will be too. Low drag - I'll check out the regional forum now...

Hello people! I've just bought a 2015 ES, so thought I'd come hang out with more of my Super Tenere owning kind :) I've been riding about 5 or 6 years, currently living in Colorado but I'm actually a Brit, just working out here in the US for a few years. Will be taking the bike back with me...
