    Fitted Madstad Screen Bracket

    I have found the Madstad designed screens work best with their brackets. They have the secret to making it all work!

    Time For A New Windscreen

    Maybe a dumb suggestion...... Curious why the Madstad screen is not mentioned in your options? Maybe I missed it somewhere. I have tried all the options on the Tenere, Africa Twin, and other bikes, and always find out the Madstad brackets with Madstad screen is the best combo. Have tried the...

    Compulsive buyer wants input on Triumph 900 Rally Pro.......

    Just an update to the Triumph discussion......... Shoulda coulda woulda listened to those who asked what I would gain by buying the Triumph 900 Rally Pro. Well, I thought from all the reviews that it was the absolute PERFECT bike for me. But, the thing never mentioned in any reviews I watched...

    Compulsive buyer wants input on Triumph 900 Rally Pro.......

    Sorry reply a bit late..... I did not have the 790 R, I had the more street version, 790 S. It is an amazing bike. It just did not fit me, it belongs with a younger person who likes to "hooligan" more than I do! It was amazingly lightning quick when you revved it a bit. The front end would get...

    S10 to Africa Twin

    1000% agree. Even though I sold my S10 4 years ago, I lurk around this site cuz there are a lotta good folks here, and a lot of interesting threads going on. Too bad most forums are not even close to this one~!!!!!!!!!

    Compulsive buyer wants input on Triumph 900 Rally Pro.......

    Thanx to all, I really appreciate all the comments. Getting a feel for how riders think about Triumph. I did take the KTM 790 Adventure to a nearby bike store to have them try to sell it. Still have not decided whether to just stay with one bike, or maybe take some good ideas on here and go...

    Compulsive buyer wants input on Triumph 900 Rally Pro.......

    Sierra1, Ha, the bike in avatar pic IS the 2015. It was red when I bought it, but I swapped out the tank and parts to make it yellow! I have read posts on this forum that some knew as soon as they sat on the Triumph that it was not the bike for them. So, guess I am wondering if I am missing...

    Compulsive buyer wants input on Triumph 900 Rally Pro.......

    Wowsers, thanks Vrode and Rethy! You both sort of point to the obvious. Buying lots of bikes, never happy, bored when newness wears off. Guilty to all of your comments. I am actually a little jealous of MANY of you S10 ers who have been happy for years with your S10. The 790 was a compulsive...

    Compulsive buyer wants input on Triumph 900 Rally Pro.......

    So, I have been a lurker for the years since I owned 2 S10 bikes. A 2014, then a 2015. Extremely nice experience, but then I fell victim to the hype and moved on to a lighter Honda Africa Twin, 2016, then a 2018 Adventure Sports Africa Twin. Both, very nice, but heavy, and tall. Once again, I...

    Off road riders opinions

    Ha, I know the original questions by OP are not so much relevent now, but, you can certainly kill a fly with a hammer, but it is a lot smarter to use a flyswatter! I agree that rider ability is absolutely a factor. I tried to ride my Honda AT over Imogene Pass in Colorado and quickly found my...

    Givi Airflow, who has got one?

    I had a Givi Airflow for my S10. Used it some, enough to know it was an improvement over stock for sure. However, it was not an improvement like the Madstad brackets and screen. That is what I have on my current AT and it was the best I could find for the S10 and the AT. Nice and wide, lets air...

    Pivot Pegz with extensions Gen 2 SOLD, SOLD, SOLD!

    Who wants a steal on Pivot Pegs that were on my 2014 and 2015 Super T? How about 120$ shipped to lower 48 USA states? They could use some cleaning up, are fully functioning as intended. The extensions can be removed if they are too long for you. I liked them long.
