Howdy, Getting ready to install my PIAA 530 Kit. I see that the provided harness has an inline 20A fuse. I am planning on using the OEM Aux. Light Plug (ordered the right stuff from Eastern Beaver) and noticed that this outlet already has a 20A fuse in the fuse box. Can I just cut out the...

Howdy, Well I believe I got my first real "adventure" ride in this past Sun. & Mon. Met Dean around 7:30 AM in Westminster, Ma. for breakfast, all loaded up with camping gear. After a hearty meal we were on dirt roads pretty quickly. We started out through Mt. Waschusett State Forest, then...

Howdy, Looking to camp out at Copake State Park in NY on Tues. 5/13. I know it is just before Tolland but with my work schedule constraints I can't make Tolland but need to get out and camp. I'll be hooking up with Dean in Worcester on Tues. morning then heading to Copake with some dirt thrown...

Howdy, Well it looks like I'm there, so to those of you who have replaced your Sargent seat what did you replace it with and why? Later, Norm :question:

Howdy, I’m the type of rider that gets out for a ride during the cold season at least once a month as long as the temperature creeps up past 32 and there’s not a lot of salt on the road. Except for this year, this is a rant unto itself. But anyway, one of the things about motorcycling that I...

Howdy, Well I got the Hugger installed today. Looks really good. A couple of very, very small issues, 1) the hole in the metal bracket that goes over the Bevel Case stud had to be reamed out and 2) the same for the two holes in the Hugger that the brake torque arm bolts pass through. Between...

Howdy, All set with what I want to put on for replacement tires. My question is H vs. V speed ratings. The tire I am looking at comes in both ratings. What do they do when they make the tire that changes it from a H to a V speed rating? I know I'll never need the V rating for flat out high...

Howdy, Ordered my Sargent today. Good timing on my part, they are having a 20% off sale so both front and rear seat with black piping is $460 with shipping. Cheaper then the pre register price. Later, Norm

Howdy, Well I've just about ground through the outer edge of my left boot from having too much fun on the Connie 14. I would like to replace them with another pair of Sidi Canyons but there up around $325 a pair now. The 1st Gear Kathmandu boot looks like a suitable replacement at about 1/2...

Howdy, After a couple of hours of wrestling the bike through some deep sand on stock tires I'm ready to change!!! I've always thought Radials were better than Bias tires but as I start my on line search for replacements I see most of the more serious dirt tires are bias belted. So I'm...

Hello, I've posted on another thread on this topic before. Since my bike is STILL having the issue I've been looking harder at the root cause. I believe there is some sort of evaporation/condensation cycle going on. So now I'm looking for others thoughts on my thoughts. From what I can see...

Howdy Well it finally arrived. I ordered it when they first became “available” in Feb. but had to go through two delays. Well worth the wait. •All mounting hardware lined up. Had to rotate my bars back just a hair so the hand gaurds would clear the shield. Probably more of a dealer prep...

Hi, Well National Cycle just released their V-Stream wind shield for the Tenere. I was quite happy with their shield on my Concours 14 especially after coming off a GL1800 with its barn door shield. I’ve ordered mine, though disappointed that you are limited to screen color by screen size...

Hi, I thought I would start a new thread on doing the Trans Labrador Highway next year after seeing some chatter about it on one of the tire threads. This ride was one of the reasons I traded my Concours 14 in and bought my Tenere. Originally there were three of us but one died unexpectedly...

Howdy, Been trying to access the Alt Rider web site tonight with not much luck. Have seen the recent chatter about unhappy customers, unanswered e-mails, etc. have they died? :( Later, Norm

Hello, Just picked up my Black Tenere today. This is kinda like going back to my roots, been riding for 40 years, first bike was a '65 Triumph 500 Trophy. Looking for an Electronic Copy of the shop manual, did a search of the site but did not come up with much. Any help would be greatly...
