    Helmet mounted music SMH5

    I'm experimenting with this $125 SMH5. It sounds best streaming Amazon Prime music. I did not install the microphone. I think I like it for around town. For best quality I use Sony ear buds that have no "L" shaped exit out of the ear, just a wire. Best Buy has those for $14. If you...

    Got a Shock Yesterday on the Interstate - WOW

    I pulled under an overpass to adjust my cell phone. When I signaled to come back onto the Interstate, all the cars moved to the passing lane to let me in. I forgot I was in the sport mode. That thing came alive! I could swear I felt it try to peel-out, but the traction control caught it and...

    Bought Some Riding Boots - Cycle Gear

    I just got these at Cycle Gear & find them comfortable. I do not recommend mail ordering them. Because, I'm normally an 11 & these are 12. In one box, one was tight & one was loose. Hurricane Waterproof Motorcycle Boots (BILT) Follow-up - after several trips, I find I love these boots...

    Anyone ordered one lately? They said it'd be 5 weeks. Like that was normal. Do they ship sooner than that? Thanks,

    AltRider Siver Crash Bar on Blue 2014 Tenere - Install Tips Too

    Quality is FANTASTIC! I found the installation very difficult by myself, and I’m an airplane mechanic. Like the video says, get someone to hold one side in-place for you. Very easy to scratch your pipes doing it solo. Also, as someone mentioned, nice long punch set to keep one side in place...

    Highway Peg Solution – on AltRider Crash Bar

    I mounted these on 1 one inch crash bar from AltRider. Together with the folding clamps, they are nice and tight and great quality. Not too excited about the special tool or storing something in them, but love the extra length for riding with boots. For instance, if you lose the special tool...

    Flash 2 Pass AC Adapter

    I'm having trouble finding one. F2P company not answering the phone. Saw one Amazon, but zero balance. Editing my original post in-case someone else is ever looking for this hard to find item. Found one at Racer Parts, 800-397-7815 (two left) PN FTP-101301 or 71-9027. $17.95 with shipping...

    Mounting a Car GPS or Smart Phone on the Tenere & Handlebar Pouch

    Road tested. I found both of these most useful on my recent trip. The vibration is minimal, and easy to take GPS off during rain, or into hotel at night. If your trying to find an address in the city, temporarily pop your smart phone in there. The mount looks cheesy in the store, but it's...

    Loud Thump whin I Hit Pot-hole 2014

    Couldn't find on search. When I hit a Pot-hole or bump I get a loud noise from the front end. Sounds like the windshield assembly or maybe the brake line hose hitting the fender? Can't fine anything loose. VERY annoying.

    Heated grips.

    They are $399 MSRP. A 2 hr install by dealer. They are supposed to integrate with the menu rocker switches to operate. I bought a set but have not had them installed yet. The dealer charged me $350 including labor as part of the purchase price.

    Want to be Seen at Night?

    Put one of these on the back of your helmet. They can be seen WAY down the interstate. My favorite is the nautical star. http://www.streetglo.net/streetglo_files/helmet.decals.htm

    2014 Cruise Control

    Man, I forgot how how much impact a high quality cruise control has on even shorter rides. This one is like a Goldwing. On a fairly hilly ride, it will keep you within 2 MPH, 4 MPH, rarely, but quick to return.

    Bought a Blue 2014 non-ES Today – 1st thoughts

    After reading Steve M.’s review, of his ES, I went for it. http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=12421.0 My thoughts after a first ride mirror everything he said. I will just add: - The 3 silver OEM luggage & mounting brackets from my 2012 fit perfectly. The dealer swapped them...

    Jesse 3 Bag System - As Good as OEM?

    I'm toying with getting a 2014. Looks like the Jesse big 3 would cost about $2,200 - i.e. 11" Safari II High Pipe, w/45L top box. http://jesseluggage.com/yamaha.html Are all 3 as easy to get on & off as factory Yamaha's are - as in quick disconnect & pop back on. Looks like they aren't...

    Good Dealer in Oklahoma

    I was happy about my dealership giving me my fist oil change free this weekend! Sehorn Yamaha in Shawnee, OK. Plus they were over 1,000 dollars under MSRP. They also got back with me about the top box not locking tightly. They swapped it out with no questions asked, and talked to the factory...

    Cleaning and Maintaining Plastic on a Bike - Tip

    I've been using this product for 5 years on dirt bikes & street bikes. I really believe it reduces fading and keeps plastic looking new. I spray and wipe off after every cleaning. Some people use it on everything on the bike, or boat, or car. http://www.bassboatsaver.com/
