I'm assembling a tool kit for a CDR attack this summer. The rear axle nut is 27 mm and requires 90 ft. Lbs of torque. Have any of you hard core adv types come across a 27 mm closed end wrench that isn't 15 inches long and heavy. I was thinking of the motion Pro T6 but I'm not sure it's really up...

Has anybody tried brake snakes (otherwise known as brake/shifter lever savers) on their ST? If so, how did you install them given that there is no frame rails under the engine to attach the inboard end of the snake to.

Before I bought the above rack and trunk I thought that I would not be able to open the Yamaha side cases with the trunk in place. I am pleased to report that i can indeed open both side cases while just clearing the trunk which definitely makes for less side of the road fussing about. For...

Does anyone have the above combination? I am considering the Altrider rack and the above top box but am concerned that I won't be able to open the OEM panniers with the givi top box in place.

On my past bikes including a 2012 Tiger Explorer I have used a BMW style power outlet usually unswitched so I could charge the battery or operate accessories (eg tire pump) without the ignition on. Has any one simply removed the stock outlet a wired a Euro outlet directly to the battery (fused...
