You have a problem finding neutral? I've never had that problem with the S10. It's a very distinctive half step on my '13.

Yes, you could do a clear flat finish.

Just leave the door closed and ride really hard at it the first time you go to park it. It'll leave a perfect bike-shaped entry way. ::26:: Actually, don't do this. Probably dangerous. ::025::

I'd personally use two 1.75 Gallon Rotopax with the two-stack extension handle. If you fill the 1.75 gallon packs all the way, they're 2 gallons, and they will be much smaller stacked like that then some other fuel cells. The pillion area is perfect for it, but you could also do it over the rear...

Honestly, if you're just doing 80/20 or 90/10, Bridgestone Battlewings do great. I'd go for those over something more knobbie for such light off-road use.

Like others have said, taking off your gear is the wrong way to go about it. You do need to insulate yourself from the radiant temperatures outside, as well as the hot air blast. You want to wear a vented / breathable jacket that will allow you to create a microclimate in your suit. You will...

We use ACF-50 on my wife's Ural. Seems to work. I might have to add a touch to mine after reading this.

Re: God mounting? I'd recommend mounting your God to the Pillion seat. That way they can always watch your back! ::025:: In seriousness though, if you're looking for an accessory bar, you might look at the Madstad brackets. They come with one that also acts as a brace for the brackets. They...

Do you have stock handlebars? I've heard the more intense sweep angle causes the shoulder blades to come together and arms to sit further back. That might be forcing more weight down to your lower back, versus having your arms more forward?

One major maker I don't see on your list yet is the Russell Day Long seat. Dunno if you'd looked at them, but they seem to get good reviews. I'm still using the stock seat myself.

Reviving this as I have new info that might help someone tell me if I'm insane or not. ::012:: The warm pillion rack has happened a couple of times again, but not every ride, which is weird. Yesterday, it was still very warm about ten minutes after getting home, so I went to work. I took the...

Haha, 25 here! ::025::

I've got four seat bumpers available after I switched to the shorter ones. I've got no need for them. Private Message me your address and I'll get a shipping quote for you. ;D

The front engine mounts were very tight on my '13. It just took the right angle and a pair of gloves for me to get them started, then it was normal. I guess they don't want the engine falling off? ::025:: I have to second the breaker bar thing. Though, I wouldn't spend money on a 'real'...

I washed off my old Vulcan 900 and put it out by the side of the road with a For Sale sign on it. Does that count?

I'm in a similar pickle myself. I'm 320lbs, 5'11". My weight is so evenly distributed that I have a barrel chest. My 'gut line' and my 'nipple line' are roughly the same around. I don't have that V-torso that, it seems, every company assumes people fit into. I can order a jacket that is perfect...

I think you'll find most laws like this are only enforced on 'vehicles sold or registered in the state'. If you're just riding through and don't give them an excuse to pull you over, you'll be completely fine. If you're worried about it, just keep short shifting and keep your noise level as low...

Re: Anyone on there 2Nd Tenere? I'm definitely in the 'use it up' camp. I specifically bought my 2013 Tenere this year (leftover) as a 5-10 year bike. I want a bike I can get my money out of, essentially. I'm gonna ride it until it's too expensive to maintain. Might end up with a 2025 model. :D...

Just hopped out and checked. No obvious damage to the headlight connectors behind the covers. I checked around looking for loose/melted cables, but don't see anything in the fork well. Is there a method for knowing if my headlights have been done? I see the R1 wires are connected differently so...
