    AUX 12 volt outlet removal tips?

    Just an update for anyone else with this issue. A flathead screwdriver inserted into one of the notches on the nut and a mallet knocked it loose. The outlet is also definitely keyed.

    2014 Non ES Tailight Wiring

    Hi! I've dug through the forum and haven't been able to find this info. Trying to wire in some supplemental brake lights and I'm having difficulty finding the right wires to tap into. I've got a black/blue stripe and black on the left side. Is that it? TIA!

    Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

    That was earlier in my trip. Actually ended up being 36 days camping out of 42 days on the road. :) You definitely get used to it. Showers were pretty scarce though.

    Show me your bike loaded with tent camping gear

    25 days straight camping. All gear except for a foam sleeping pad is in the boxes. All actual camping gear is in the left Solobox.

    No more tank bag!! Hurray!!

    I've been using a Pelican 1300 with Cortech mount for several years with no problem. It looks a little funky but it's very functional, watertight, and easily removable. I also ride on my pegs quite a bit and it hasn't been in the way for me.

    Handlebar mitts

    I've also been using these for several years and have been very happy with them. A great addition to heated grips for the cooler seasons.

    Tenere seat recommendations

    Russell Day-Long. Did substantial touring on my '05 V-Strom 650 with one. When I got my S10, another RDL was one of my first purchases. In both instances, I was fortunate to find used ones for a great price...but I wouldn't hesitate to pay full price. They are just that comfortable. Totally...

    Another catastrophic CCT failure.

    I'm the 3rd owner of the bike but as far as I know it's the original. Unfortunately, I didn't realize CCT failure was an issue until it happened to me.

    Another catastrophic CCT failure.

    A few weeks ago, I went to start my 2012 S10 (70,000 miles on the clock) after work and got nothing. It would crank but wouldn't turn over. After checking out the forum, I thought that it might be a "hard start' issue. Tried all of the tricks and still nothing so I trailered it to the nearest...

    Stripped oil pan dilemma

    Plan to leave on a 4000 mile roadtrip on Friday. So I did an oil change today...and managed to strip the oil pan. On examination, the previous owner had already stripped it and retapped it for a 14mm bolt. Looking for advice on best & quickest repair which hopefully doesn't involve replacing...
