Well, it turns out I won't be able to take my bike to India after all, so I'm selling it now. The bike was built for extreme-condition riding in the Himalayas, no expense spared, to wit: 2017 Super Tenere non-ES bike for sale. Hard-to-find Sand paint. Always stored indoors, and wintered at a...

Selling OEM fork cartridges and rear shock from a 2017 S10. Bike only had about 5200 miles at uninstall, parts are in excellent condition; work was done by 30-year suspension tech at Cycles 128 north of Boston. Asking $500 plus shipping for all, or you can drop by and pick them up and skip the...

Looking for a metal pillion-position rack e.g. Altrider or other.

Two-part question: First, why is the capacity of the under-seat rack so low? The seat itself can carry an adult human, but the rack is only rated for something like 10 pounds? Second part, are there any US vendors that make a metal rack plate for that rack position that is level with the rear...

Is there such a thing for this bike?

I really like the Anakee Wilds I put on my bike, and am thinking about grabbing at least one more set to put aside right now while I can still get them, as the supply chain thins and things start to dry up. What's the ideal way to store tires long-term, i.e. temp/humidity, adding tire dressing...

I've decided to pull the trigger on an Ohlins suspension for the bike, while I can still get one. I weigh around 230lb without gear, and expect to lose 15-20lb (maybe more) so I'm going to go slightly lighter on spring rates than I might normally consider. According to the Ohlins site, I should...

Until last month, there was a dedicated alignment shop up here that did chassis and front end alignment only. They typically did track/race bikes and other high-performance machines but could do others. I had been waiting for the end of winter to get my bike over to the guy, because I've needed...

Looking for the plug-and-play wiring harness to connect the PIAA aux lights to the factory wiring plug.

I just replaced my 4 year old Shoei RF1200 with an XD-4, which should arrive today. I was right on the line between a Med and a Large, so I bought the large. I see that Arai sells different thicknesses of liner, and the Med comes with a 10mm and the Large with a 7mm, and both appear to have the...

My AGV full-synthetic/mesh summer gloves are starting to deteriorate after three years. They were, admittedly, quite cheap. Now that I'm looking for replacements, I'm looking for recommendations: I need a glove suited to riding in very hot weather (over 95F), and potentially heavy rain. I don't...

Thanks to SCKill, I now have a Sargent seat on the bike. I did the Hampster trail the other weekend, which was two days of 8 hours in the saddle. There were a few breaks here and there, but it was a good 3-4 hours between breaks. At the end of two days, I had (and still have) a numb spot on the...

This past weekend I rode up the Hampster on brand new Anakee Wilds. The traction off-road was very good, though there was a significant fly in the ointment. On one particular heavily rutted road, not deep ruts but lots of ruts crossing over each other, I found that the rear, a 150-width, had a...

I rode the southern half of the Hampster today, and by the last third of the trip I was having trouble shifting down into 2nd and 1st. The transmission wouldn't shift cleanly, and the shift lever would just move with no resistance. I found that if I almost upshifted, I could then get the...

I notice that there are what appear to be bolt eyes at the ends of the passenger peg brackets. Are there strap anchors available to bolt to those eyes?

My PC8 arrives tomorrow. In preparation for the install this weekend, I wanted to get some opinions on the procedure. I am a bit leery of how the box has all those openings on the sides for bare-metal wiring. I know it's behind the side panel, but that does nothing to prevent atmospheric...

This is now taken. I picked up an SW Motech universal GPS mount that fits Gen-1 bikes

I'm thinking about doing at least part of the Hampster, probably in the week after Memorial day. Anyone else want to join me?

One of the irritations I've noticed with the bike is that the mirrors tend to unscrew themselves over time. If a mirror gets knocked askew, I find that either the thread holding the mirror to the stalk or the stalk to the mount has loosened in the process. I had noticed for some time that bikes...

As a preliminary step to my aux lighting install, in case I can't find a "good" purpose-built harness for the light I want, I bought a third-party switch off of Amazon. It's a two-wire switch, no illumination, and has a decent milled-aluminum housing. The switch itself is a basic round rocker...
