    Shinko 705: A cautionary tale

    How many miles on that tire? It looks like it's almost at the wear bars. When I had similar failures, the tires I was using had roughly the same amount of tread or a little less left.

    Shinko 705: A cautionary tale

    They are funny tires. Some people have used lots of them with no issues and others have had multiple failures. I had a couple non radial rears delaminate near end of tread life years ago. Fronts were always great. Big mileage no issues except for getting very loud as they cupped when the...

    What you did to your Tenere today??!!

    I put an McCruise on my 12 a couple years ago. It is an awesome addition.

    Rear brake weirdness, no rear ABS, and ABS light on- 2013 w/70K miles.

    Unfortunately I agree. The high effort to depress the brake lever is the give away.

    Africa Twin

    I have had the same thoughts about converting the S10 and AT into one bike, except for the BMW thinking part. Having rented a few BMW's on tours in Europe, I have found they are nice bikes to rent but I wouldn't want to own one. I haven't really seen anything that tickles my fancy even remotely...

    Africa Twin

    Not an apples to apples comparison in my opinion. Sounds like you have buyers remorse with your AT. -shaft drive - modern chains are much lighter go 30K+ miles and cost a couple hundred bucks and an hour of labor to replace. Ability to change gearing on non DCT model is a plus -center stand...

    Honda 750 Transalp

    Very true for the S10, but we are discussing the much lighter Trans Alp not having tubeless tires.

    ABS light issues

    Make sure you didn't bend the mount for the sensor or damage the ABS ring on the wheel itself.

    Honda 750 Transalp

    I guess it depends what you are planning to do with a bike. Those that see mostly high miles on blacktop or easy dirt roads, cruise and tubeless tires are very desirable. Those that ride more off the beaten path on smaller shorter roads not so much. Tubeless wheels don't hold air well when you...

    Honda 750 Transalp

    I like my T7 a lot. Zero interest in a Trans Alp at this point.

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    The standard or high position has an extra bracket under the flat plate. If you look at the picture carefully, you will see that when using the bracket the rear mounting screws for the flat plate are several inches more towards the rear helping minimize how much the rack is cantilevered...

    Concern about weight of Givi Outback Trekker top box

    Looks like you have the rack mounted in the low position. It will break eventually almost guaranteed. I have broken two of them over the years. The first one mounted in the high position Altrider warrantied and sent me a new one for free. The second one I had mounted in the low position like...
