Hi all! The rubber boot of the left front turn signal on my 2012 S10 is cracked so I am looking for a replacement turn signal. I expect that many have replaced the turn signals so they might have some laying around. I would be happy to buy both front ones. I am willing to take an original one as...

Many thanks, Pnelson and Snakebitten, for your replies to my post #6 above. I'm going to order the PC-8/harness kit soon. The list of your mods helped me remember the other things I already have hooked up that I had forgotten, including a USB socket and an SAE connector for heated gear. The PC-8...

Hi all, I'm considering the Eastern Beaver PC-8 with Relay Kit and wiring harness for my 2012. I currently have a GPS and heated grips jury-rigged in and want to get a capable setup to add lights, etc. Any other reviews or opinions on the PC-8 with Relay Kit, other than those above? Looks like...

I greatly enjoyed our meeting also. I see a trend; it seems that only smart, friendly, talented folks ride Super Teneres ;D . Hope we can do it again this year and get more to attend. Thanks to Hannabone for urging this along. A couple of pictures are attached; the first at the Story Inn, and...

Just talked to Rafnk3. He and I will be there by 9:30 to meet the group, and we'll ride for a bit. But we need to head back north before lunch. :( Will Bishop

Hi all, are the plans still as stated above: Meet at the Story Inn @ 9:30 - 10:00 on the 23rd , then ride until lunchtime. Is lunch planned at the Story Inn also? Rafnk3 and I plan to ride down to meet the group at some point, either for the morning gathering or at lunchtime. We probably will...

Fred and all: I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. Easy trip for me since I'm local. I'll be on the raven ST with Trekker bags parked in a lot on 25th St west of the track. Fred, if you're around Moose's motorhome I'll see you in that area. Will B

I'm sticking with my order regardless of the delay. I considered trading my V-Strom 1000 for an R1200GS for a long time and am so happy to have (eventually) the XT1200Z instead. A few months more delay is no big deal and the Strom is a decent ride til then. I am happy to give my loyalty to...

Thanks Venture for the generous offer. I'm sticking with it. Got to do something with this big pile of farkles in my garage anyway!

Thanks Devin. Mine is Raven also, so protecting the paint will be one of my first priorities. Will B

Fred, thanks for your detailed and thoughtful analysis of all the options. Did you find any new suppliers for tank or bodywork protection? All the best Will B

Does anyone know if the Yamaha brand 32 litre right hand side case will hold a large full face helmet? That's my gage for minimum acceptable pannier capacity. The depth dimension of the Trekker 33 litre is 9 inches, which would not be enough. Clearly the Trekker 46 litre would hold a helmet...

I hope Venture Shield does produce one. I had checked with Mag-Knight and they said they do not plan to produce a tank protector. I'm disappointed, because I've used them on various other bikes for many years and they've had excellent performance. Will B V-Strom 1000, CBR 900RR, and soon to...

Thanks Fred! The few dealers I've talked to here don't know about the traveling Teneres... I'd love to visit Litchfield (my mom was from Raymond) but may not make it in this weather. Will B Vstrom 1000, CBR 900RR, and soon to be Raven Super Tenere
