I fit my spring and the difference is night and day. Definitely exposes the deficiencies in the fork springs, but that's much easier to live with than the bike not wanting to stay on its sidestand because the suspension is loaded down so much with all my camping gear. I went with a 9.0 kg...

This is why I went with the Holan Nomadas. No way I was giving up my V47, so since the Nomadas were the only panniers available with easily completely removable lids, they were the obvious choice. Luckily they're quality kit, too.

The new Torque base from RAM is much more unobtrusive on the bar compared to the U-bolt setup: http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-408-37-62U

Per the parts diagrams for both generations (on shopyamaha.com), neither meter has replaceable indicator lights. Odds are that they are LEDs & would not need replacing.

Thanks for the input! I've actually done a decent amount of riding in/around the Dragon (I have family in Robbinsville). I am planning on hitting a bunch of stuff around there, as you can see from the below pseudo-screen caps: That's the first leg of my trip...

The Cyclops LED setup is worlds better than stock at night, but still not perfect. It's mostly an issue while cornering and is a limitation of the stock headlight design. I've got the ever popular Rigid light bar waiting to be installed and I fully expect that to take care of it (and basically...

Messaged you back (finally). Looking forward to meeting up! ::003::

Assuming you cannot find information from the manufacturer, best bet is going to hook up each circuit to a power source to see what lights up (a small 12V drill battery is a good power source to test that kinda thing). My initial thought is 2 separate circuits within the light with a common...

That'd be awesome! I leave from the Philly-area on August 6th or 7th with Shenandoah National Park (via Skyline Dr) as my "goal." I do not yet have an end destination for that day picked. The next goal is Smoky Mountain National Park, so the destination will be somewhere along the route between...

... for 42 days. A rough outline (in 2 parts because Mapquest & Google Maps both suck): We're gonna get to know each other real well:

I did. Took a while to get the configuration I wanted, but it was over the winter, so no rush.

Although I like the idea of modular helmets, if anyone wants to see a Schuberth broken with bare hands, send me your helmet and I'll video it. The amount of flexion on the sides of the C3 is ridiculous (I inadvertently cracked one just checking it out). Scared me off of modular helmets.

http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-408-37-62U Hopefully RAM will actually release these soon. Waiting on 2 of them from GPS City & the release date keeps getting pushed back.

Pull the whole side panel. The 2 pop rivets up front & a half dozen bolts & that whole panel (both the painted & unpainted pieces) will come off, even with the AltRider crash bars installed. Actually, it's easier to get that off than it is to get the DZUs-attached panel on the right side off.

Prime with this: http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/professional/aluminum-primer-spray/ Paint it with whatever you like the looks of.

Re: Anyone for UK brackets that stop Gen 2 screen vibes? UPDATED I've got a set on the way from Bryn! ::26::

SW-Motech City & Trial (Yamaha version) bags.

You can see parts fiches for all Yamaha models at shopyamaha.com/parts

The Powerbronze 360mm screen for the '10-'13 S10 will fit if you remove the windscreen adjustment bracket & the trim piece under it & get the '10-'13 trim panel & the 2 trim pieces that go on the outside of the screen to cover up the other holes.

If you look at his chart, he has that information in there. Basically he chose a rate to get him to the 2-up + luggage setting of the OE spring pressure/weight at the single passenger setting with the new spring. http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=19121.0;attach=35871
