YAMAHA XT1200 SUPER TENERE (NEW THROTTLE-BY-WIRE MCCRUISE) Any thoughts on the cruise control offering above? I have a 2012 Super T and would like cruise control. Was thinking of buying a new bike, but maybe the above system would delay that purchase. Currently at 47,000 miles and...

All good points. Thanks. Will be on an ES in the coming months.

Anyone have a reason a 2019 ES would be worth waiting for? Seems a 2018 ES 0r 2017 ES (if able to fine) would be the same bike. Except for color. I have a 2012 with 47K that has been very good to me. Comments? Thanks.

It's a mystery!. Spent three hours going 5 miles in a mud-fest and lost it the next day rolling into Pasadena, CA. Odd experience. Must've come loose. I was too relieved to be on asphalt to notice, i suppose. Thanks.

Lost a throttle-side bar end spacer (between grip and brush guard). Anyone know where, besides the dealer, I can buy one? Or not worth the hassle? Thank you. MkG

I would like to mount LED lights on my AltRider crash bars. Opinions? Other suggestions for making the bike more visible to oncoming traffic/night riding? I rarely, if ever ride at night, but would like to solve two problems with one install. Thank you.

Thanks. My friends never ride their GS's off road. They ride them like they're MotoGP racers on a 1-3 week trip in search of great pavement. Panniers a bit loaded. Pretty fun. If it's an opinion, well, okay. Thanks, again. Lewis.

My buddies swear (a lot) that Ohlins are the way to go. They each have a BMW 1200 GS. Are Ohlns shocks really worth that much? Best bang for the buck shocks? Maybe a sliding scale...If Ohlins are a 10 for $$$. Are there any others that are close for $$? Just past 30,000 on my 2012 Super...

Anyone have any current conditions information about the Saline Valley Road? Heading there in a couple days. Thanks, Martin/Lewis

Have you looked at the GIVI 'Trekker' cases? Are they too big? I am in the exact same boat.

I have 10" Jesse Luggage. Looking for an inner bag that fits well in the right side (larger/no cutout) pannier. Suggestions?

Does this tool box fit with Jesse Panniers/sidecases installed?

Thank you for your help. All I have to do now is figure out how to use BaseCamp. Not a very intuitive application, if you ask me. Not that anyone did. -MG ::015:: ::021::

Forum Geniuses, Can someone point me to a good spot to wire my Garmin GPS Montana power wiring to? Maybe there's a thread on this, but I can't seem to find it. A lead to where that is, would be fine too. I am prone to use the plug and play stuff so I am not too confident. I was thinking of...

Sadly, just looked at 'er before and after work. But did make a few minor plans on a fine Sierra Nevada route I'm' riding come Father's Day...That doesn't suck.
