    1st North American Super Tenere gathering - Whitehorse,Yukon Ca - July 1-5, 2012

    Re: First North American Super Tenere gathering - Whitehorse,Yukon Canada July 2012 I think I am going to try and stop by for a dinner or something. I will be doing a IBA UCC on my S10. It looks like the dates might just work out.

    Best Ground Location

    So I finally got it working. The solution was to take the garmin base and ground it under the seat. Then I took the JM CB2003 and grounded that to the engine. Then the rest of the items are grounded to the Centech AP-1 which is grounded to the battery. Doing this cleared up all the noise. When...

    Howdy Guys, I figured I would give you an update on the saga. I still don't have the noises worked out. The scanerio is the JM2003, hooked to the CFRG-02, and that is hooked into my Garmin 550. My cell connects to the garmin to make and receive calls, and the mic/speaker ports on the garmin...

    Interesting. I wonder why that would be the case. I have wired up my ST1300 with all the4 JM Setup, and worked all the kinks out. This setup on the Super Tenere is really driving me crazy. Open to any ideas and suggestions.

    Howdy Guys, I am adding a JM CB2003 to the bike. I plan on doing some long distance, and need to keep in touch with folks. When I am talking on my cel phone through the JM/Zumo setup people on the other end of the phone hear engine noices. I however don't hear a thing. It's nice crisp and quiet...

    Headlight Modulators

    I am guessing it might be a Texas thing. I have them on ALL my bikes. However I use them differently then most. The ONLY time I flip mine on is when I am leading a group of bikes, and we are out in the middle of nowhere, and I see a person sitting at a stop sign and I am getting the feeling they...

    OEM Case Dimensions

    Math is not my strong point. 29/32 sounds much better.

    GPS/Music

    On all my bikes, I use the Zumo 550 with XM connected to a JM2003 (cb) with the extra harness to take cell phone calls. When I do long trips, since I do them mostly by myself, it's a requirement from my wife. When my friends start poking fun... I remind them atleast my wife let's me take trips....

    OEM Case Dimensions

    Does anyone have the meansurements for the OEM side cases? I would love the liter size as well if someone wants to calculate that too. :) I would like to compare them size wise to the Zega Pro from touratech. Regardless of the lock issue, I seem to be leaning toward the OEM cases, so anyone who...

    Another Texan... must be in the water

    Howdy, I'm a new ST owner from Burleson, Texas. I picked up my blue lady @ Burleson Power Sport this last Sunday. I had been waiting on it. I am doing another Alaska trip the Summer of 2012. I have already done it on a KLR. The KLR on the Haul Road was great. The rest of the trip sucked. :) So...
