Maybe. What are the specs? I literally placed my order for a new pair of Happt Trail panniers and rack about 3 weeks ago (awaiting delivery), but I have a friend who might be interested as well.
This was actually one I was looking at, however it doesn't denote the ES model, and doesn't provide the part number, and unfortunately I do not think the regular S10 non-es rear frame will work with the ES model due to the ES model's need for clearance with the electronic suspension pumps...
I think you're right on the money. While I'm currently unable to upload a picture, there are a lot more mounting points for the electronic suspension adjustments, so I suspect you've hit the nail on the head.
It is a shame though. I was very much hoping to purchase the used rear frame from...
I'm honestly not sure. I was hoping someone on this forum would be able to tell me more reliably. I don't have a non-ES to compare it to, and the diagrams aren't much help since they don't go into anything quite that specific. Best I can tell, the drawings are rather generic.
I'm recently trying to piece my 2014 S10 ES back together after having gotten clipped by a 4Runner going about 65 MPH. My panniers and rack were destroyed, but otherwise the bike was rideable. The only other issue is that the rear subframe is bent and crooked.
I found an ebay listing for the...
Their products are pricey, but with a lifetime warranty I imagine they are totally worth it if you're serious about winter riding. Definitely something I'll keep in mind. Thank you!
Now THAT'S a good idea! So the dashboard isn't locked down on the standard model, allowing you to add and control ES options after-the-fact? That's an incredibly generous thing of Yamaha to do! I had no idea! Thanks!
Much too cold for my blood. Sounds like heated grips are definitely something I'm going to have to try.
I don't really do two-up very often (wife doesn't like riding anymore, and the kids are much too young), but when I go on my cross-country camping trips I'm usually hauling about 200 pounds...
Here in Kentucky it only gets below freezing in the true winter months. Occasionally it'll fall below 40 in late Autumn, but for the most part it stays above freezing outside of December, January, and February. It sounds like something that'll definitely make my commute more comfortable...
