    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...

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Olympia Dakar Jacket, reviews from owners out there.

    I ordered one from my local shop (I like to support local businesses) It sure looks like a nice jacket, anyone here have any reviews on one? When it warms up here in the PNW (yes it gets warm once in awhile) we are not used to it. A mesh jacket is a must for me and an adaptable one is a...

    OEM tall windscreen backordered until Mid-June? WTF

    Luckily, the factory screen all the way up is working ok, My dealer said the backorder is from Yamaha and its going to be awhile. I know the '14/15's are popular but this is a little strange. Perhaps I could get a refund and easily find one elsewhere? Anyone know whats up with this or have the...

    Get my new 2015 ES today!!!!

    I'll be using my OEM luggage from my 2012 Raven but they should work fine. I'll eventually be adding a set of Aux. lights, the OEM tall screen and the wind deflectors. My 1st look at the bike yesterday, fresh out of the box was quite impressive. This new one does look nice. I'm thinking I...

    The New Shoei Hornet X2

    I am wondering if anybody has any miles on this helmet yet, I am set to buy one after some good reviews and a test fit. It sure looks like this one has everything I would want in an ADV style helmet and it fits my head very well. I'd like to hear from guys who are using this new one, thanks.

    2015 Tall windscreen and OEM side deflectors, do they work as well?

    I have the OEM tall windscreen and the OEM side deflectors on my 2012 and am very happy with this combination. Can I expect similar or better performance from the new redesigned front end (2015) with the new Yamaha OEM tall screen and new OEM side deflectors? They look similar but have yet to...

    OEM luggage repaint, what color is the OEM black and what paint works best?

    I can probably get them painted locally, What color matches the OEM Black ones? I plan on getting the Red 2015 ES model, I could paint them that color but I'm not sure if that's the look I want. Its a thought, or I could leave them the aluminum color. Anyways, they are currently on my 2012 Raven...

    Only red in 2015?....really?

    The ES models are only available in red, I kinda like the cool looking white ones. Red doesn't match anything does it? oh well

    Sedici ADV clothing at Cycle Gear

    I got a chance to try it all on and I must say, its pretty good gear for the price. Boots, gloves and the jacket with the pants all appear to be entirely adequate for most all climate riding in the PNW of Western Wa. state. Has anyone had a chance to check it out or even bought the new gear yet...

I shut the lid and clicked the latch on and now the case cannot be opened and the tumbler is in the sideways position. I cannot get the key into the lock to rotate it and I cannot...

    Mounting a gun (no joke)

    I want to attach My AR carbine to the side of one of my OEM cases. ( I have all 3) and carry this rifle out in the country for shooting of course. Has anyone seen a mount system or been creative enough to design one? I think a ton of bungee cords and tie-down straps will get pretty ugly real...
