From my 2012 model, $35 + shipping. Thanks, - Mike

Hi Checks, I had tried the left grab rail on the right but was not as pleased with the reverse angle it gave. You're correct about protecting the muffler cover, I do that with paint protection film and silver duct tape; the odd shape of the grab rail has me using duct tape wrap there, until I...

On my 'Strom, pre-Caribou Cases, I purchased a product that kept my soft luggage out of the wheel on the exhaust off-side. On the XTZ, I found that flipping the right passenger grab-rail upside down accomplishes the same thing, for only the cost of one large diameter nut used as a spacer...

Another wire-ducker here.:) Tammy is great to work with, and must have the patience of Job to deal with all our questions and the other phone lines ringing. BMS mentions on their site that the vinyl is available in plain or basket-weave. However, Tammy mentioned to me their latest option...

Combo, Your 'flash-to-pass' pushbutton switch is terrific, particularly the way it mounts! Where'd you source it?? Thanks, -Mike

Eric, From the RUMBUX homepage, clicking on Galleries links to a page of pics. Among those are 4 photos of the 'Spotlight brackets', although the brackets are not listed under Products. With no specific description of the dimensions of the bracket, I'm not sure if my PIAA lights would mount...

Thanks for the info on the elimination of the drain plug/filter ports, Salty. EricV has been lining up buyers, and I'm potentially among them. Given the lack of information from previous buyers (and the marginal amount of information on the Rollbend/RUMBUX website), I've been hoping an owner...

Thanks, everyone. The paint shop already has my right passenger footpeg assembly, whose color looks a lot like the tailrack. I'll ask them to try to color match to it as closely as possible. - Mike

Is the silver color of the side covers on your bike the same silver (sparkly, metal-flake like) as that on the footpegs holders, subframe, etc.? :question: I'd like the all-black side covers of my US-model more if they were similar to those of the First Edition model. Can't find any online...

Thanks for the welcome, everyone! Steve, Although 3 of my buds have XT12s, the only S'Ten local to me is owned by an employee at Yamaha of Camp Hill. However, mine is usually found at the local BMW club Sunday Breakfast at the Chow Down Restaurant in Rossville -- drop in if you get the chance...

Hey Eric, I'm highly interested in the Rollbend setup as well, and how to get in on your order. I'm unclear if you're planning to order several units for yourself/others, with different individual shipping destinations? I'm also curious how many components comprise the rollbar/skidplate...

Hi all, I've been in the lurkers' closet for about a year now, sooo...I guess I'm way past due to intro up (shyness can be a tragic thing) :-[ Glad to see that my riding mate, Trevor, frequents the site -- so I do know one person here, anyway. ;D My name's Mike -- 'old guy' to some of my...
