    padded backrest for the OEM tail luggage

    Before I start my own in-house engineering, does anyone make a simple pad that I can attach to the rear OEM tail trunk for the passenger? I'm talking about something that's easy to install and remove when solo with snaps or even Velcro. Its a good ride for the passenger but a little padding on...

    Garmin 590

    I just got my 590 LM installed and turned on, it sure seems like a nice unit so far. I would like to figure out how to upload some map data (for free of course). Any suggestions? Interested in the specific PNW trails and routes in NW Wa. state. Note: I am technically challenged and my attention...

    How about this paint job? My wife says it is UGLY....

    Her vision is perfect, that looks absolutely hideous. If that was mine, I'd at least rattle can it with something . Even spray-on bedliner would help.

    OK once again, what GPS mount is best for the 2015 ES (Garmin)

    It is a Tourateck locking cradle mount but there is a set of brackets that move it to clear the gauge cluster, specifically the blinker indicators. Yes, it is a 2015 Super Tenere ES. Thanks.

    OK once again, what GPS mount is best for the 2015 ES (Garmin)

    I know there is a Touratech model that has an adapter to clear the blinker indicators but I cannot find it online. Specifically a Garmin unit. Please list model numbers and specific links that you all have. I might end up calling them. Thanks in advance.

    Perspective buyer of the Tenere..

    On my second Tenere and it is indeed a 2015 ES, its worth every extra penny. You cannot go wrong with the Tenere, one of the best bikes out there and I had a 2008 Connie. Good luck, now go get your ES.

    His and hers L and Small white Bell Mag 9 with Sena SMH-10's

    I have them on Seattles Craigslist. Search there and I have pics posted. Very nice helmets but she doesn't ride with me very much so I'm selling them. Thank you, price is negotiable (OBO) and they are priced to sell.

    Got the New Arai CT-Z 3/4 helmet, love it.

    Yes, It is alot of cash for A 3/4 but this thing is very nice. I looked at others and have owned several 3/4 helmets including My Bell Mag 9 Sena but this one takes top honors. Fit is unique as the cheek pads drop down lower than other helmets. Wind noise is minimal and venting features are...

    Engine heat

    Engine heat? not this one. My '08 Connie roasted my rightleg for some odd reason. This one is nothing, maybe a touch on the left at times but it is really well designed. The side mounted radiator designer deserves a Nobel prize.

    That's weird

    They are popping up here and there in the PNW but they still are a very misunderstood bike and not often seen at the watering holes and taverns. I get "The three questions" a lot" 1) What it is? 2) Who makes it? 3) How big is it? followed by the last one of course "how do you like it"? Even...

    Touratech V.2 locking mount on a 2015 ES

    Do other models such as the 590LM also block the signal indicators? Is this additional mount required on all the mounting applications? I would guess yes.

    Touratech V.2 locking mount on a 2015 ES

    Thanks, Now what is this Touratech bracket? I'll obviously need the part number or I'll have to talk to a Touratech sales tech. Sounds like a plan, I don't want to cover up my indicators.

    Front end whistle...mystery solved

    I got the whistle and have been reaching around while riding to try and find it. Question is how to fix it now that you have found it. sealant, foam tape or something to seal it off? I'd like to kill it, if possible.

    Touratech V.2 locking mount on a 2015 ES

    Does this V.2 attach to the windscreen crossbar ? I am looking at a Garmin 660 package, just wonder how it is supposed to fit and how good the mount works. Has anyone done this or do most riders use ball mounts? Thanks in advance.

    Gen2 Anyone on there 2Nd Tenere?

    Re: Anyone on there 2Nd Tenere? Yes, I had a raven black 2012 and am now the proud owner of a Red ES 2015. This new bike is more refined and improved over my 2012. Yamaha hit the nail on the head with the new ones. What I really like is the cruise control but the engine is smoother and runs...

    Olympia Dakar Jacket, reviews from owners out there.

    First impression is this jacket is great. I got to wear it on the first nice day out here and It is the first jacket I've worn that seems to have enough airflow. (finally) Well made an XL is just right for me. Everyone sure looks at it, it is very white indeed. Even the back panel gets air and...
