Thanks Jason! I have no doubt I will! I have been out and about the last few weekends and have some more camping planned for next! I made myself some pads for the firewood this time ;D (pic above) Glad to hear about the bolts! - I figured that was the case and I was just trying to be...

Re: "Practical" Bumot Luggage System(40L) Review Thanks Bruised! - I agree a plastic / pad would do the trick for when I go strapping hard things to them - I figured I would actually just make a mat that stretches over the tie-down points - the angle of them should make a good...

Multi Post 3/3 Conclusions I think they are not without minor flaws - but for the money, I am very, very happy with system and would easily give them 4.5stars. 5 if the powder coat was stronger (read invincible), but I get that and know I am rough on things. They are strong, super water...

Multi Post 2/3 Storage / Dimensions The specifics for each are below, but I will say that I am pleasantly surprised with what I could fit in/on these cases. I included a picture of just the gear I had inside on my last camping trip. It included my sleeping bag, clothes, food, cooking...

;D Start Multi post 1/3 ;D So I have been riding with the Bumot system for a few months and trips now, and felt I finally had enough miles to provide some practical commentary on my experience with the system. There are many positive things said about this system and great pictures around -...

I think I would continue to support the Altrider option here.. I'll agree with the others who said the install, while not requiring magic, is much easier as a two man job.. Or you have to get creative in supporting the weight while you get them started. I did manage to do it myself, but would...

::026:: I am going to say it is not just you and it actually seems a touch of a liability to me for Yamaha not to consider that in the design. I noticed that as one of the weak spots on an otherwise amazing stock design.. To put it in context - I am a fairly agile 30-something with 20+ years...

Well Mr. Fisherman, given you seem to have been thinking about it on the forum for a few years... My vote would be you give yourself a hell of a fun birthday - go off riding a few months and watch your post count skyrocket with adventure stories O:-) Oh and you blow the trade in money on...

Agreed (the three pin is still an aux light plug-n-play. Or if you like, the plug-n-play 3cs from eastern beaver ;-) Also agreed that the 4pin is now free (not used by heated grips) to use for "whatever" I think what I was getting with this thread is when you go to plug in your whatever, it's...

What Lutsie said - and from what I have found that is enough to cover the level of change you would really experience without really switching activities... It's covers just enough for changing road conditions.. And even if you have to stop, it changes in a few seconds and beats having to get...

Greetings Jimyamaha... I thought I would also chime in and say I love mine.. Once I figured it out.. I am actually a convert - maybe some guys who adjust more than I do had different expectations. To me it was just an extra feature I was afraid would break LOL but after having the Ah-ha...

Old habits die hard ::001:: There was a cool matte grey taking a slow cruise into Monterey/ Pacific Grove today... Had a well behaved sport bike in tail... Hope you all had a peaceful ride!

Added link to the heated grip connector thread... And removed non ES 2014+ from confirmed 4pin status, since it too has the actual 2-pin plugs... But still no winners on 4pin aux... Keep playing or stay tuned ::26::

::006:: Lol - this has actually been the case since the beginning... I can report I have seen the 2015 ES in person at the bike show... Here is an admittedly blurry cam treatment showing - from what I could tell an identical ES...

Re: 2014+ Windscreen Poll (What works for tall large riders?) Voted,.. At 6'3" ish I have a Yamaha tall screen + Yamaha winglets. The screen at next to highest setting pushes air just over my helmet without buffeting - Which lets my vents still work when I want. I love the OEM tall system and...

Added some fuse info and changed the title to cover the expanded topic of electrics in general... Still no word on the mysterious 4pin Aux plug for the 2014+/ES....

Re: 2014 ES Aux Plug Pinouts vs Other Models BTW - I guess these connector pin-outs are a mystery LOL - I am getting similar silent treatment from a local dealer.. Anyone feel free to chime in or see if your favorite tech knows... I will continue to consolidate any notes people come up with...

happy 2015 All! In case there are people out there trying to wire some new toys (like me ;))- I thought it would be nice to play fill in the table... It seems there is an info gap out there for the 2014 ES models on the 4pin connectors. At least my googleFu was not up to the task... I would...

Well - you guys are making me feel bad O:-) ... so just one more, it's my last pleasure ride of the year before I visit family in colder climates and share your frustration.. Today I explored the Mt. Diablo state park east of the Bay Area (around walnut creek).. I'd like to find a more...

Well, we had a rainy week so I decided to try out various combinations of my assorted rain-gear - including a nelson-rigg Aston (as-3000) rainsuit. Honestly, that was the first time I have ever been on a motorcycle in the rain and came back dry. I did about an hour loop in the rain on a mix of...
