My guess is that they are adjusted too high. I never get flashed, although I had actually expected to be with the Tenere's dual lamp design.

Re: Left Side Only - Peg Feeler Thanks for the feedback on the Conti's- that's great to know. It sounds like you have your own tamed, motorbike riding Stig.

Re: Left Side Only - Peg Feeler I have lots of pristine, untouched real estate left on the corners of my rock hard and squared off Heidenau K60s, and there's no way I'll be intentionally testing the cornering limits of them. Too scary. I had planned on going back to the Metzlers when the...

Re: Left Side Only - Peg Feeler Are you guys who are wearing away your pegs really heavy (er, robustly built), riding on lowered suspensions, or just disconnected from your mortality? I'm no MotoGP rider, but I'm no slouch either, but the only times my peg has touched earth was after an...

I opted for the ProTaper ATV High bend. It's higher than stock, but not as high as the Raptor, and has a milder sweep. As expected, it was an easy install with no cable length problems. I drilled the bar in order to interface with the control's plastic anti-rotation pins, and installed a...

I wish that they would! I recently encountered a white-framed Oakley and flat-billed hat wearing punk, who was driving some sort of supercharged, Range Rover Evoque SUV-thing. When he pulled up next to me, he was occupying a lane that had to merge immediately into my lane following the...

Re: FS: 2012 Super Tenere Raven $9,650 near Memphis, TN. That's a beautiful motorcycle, and it was nice of you to take such good care of it for the next owner. After watching your video on YouTube, I don't think that it could have been any cleaner when it left the factory. Someone will be...

Trikepilot, Thank you for replying. I can't get the K60s to work for my mix of terrain and riding style, and much preferred the stock Metzlers for off pavement. The Metzlers were very consistent when I would throttle steer. While they weren't great for climbing, the rear gripped better that...

Would mixing a Mitas E-07 rear with a K60 front be okay? I believe both have bias ply construction. I'm really looking forward to getting the K60s off, but the front K60 hasn't really done anything to offend me, and I'm too frugal (cheap?) to trash a set of tires that is still so newish...

That's a very nice photo! Off topic question - Is that a 964 in the background?

I wonder how well Plasti Dip would hold up. I've seen some nice results on cars, with people even painting wheels. Peel it off if you change your mind.

My date and I thought it was excellent. I hadn't been familiar with the Hunt and Lauda rivalry, only knowing that Lauda had been terribly burned in his Nurburgring accident. It's an interesting story that made for a great movie, and the visuals and sounds of the old cars on the classic...

I'm looking forward to reading about how people like the Karoo 3, although when I went to the K60s most everyone was singing their praises. My experience with the K60s has been mixed. They inspire confidence on curvy paved roads, and do appear to be wearing well. On unpaved roads, I was very...

I don't use the visor if I'm on paved roads and their associated higher speeds. Off paved roads, the visor goes on, and I'm using goggles instead of the shield. The neat thing about the XD series (aside from the comfort, removable liner, and great ventilation) is that they are like having two...

That was some nice riding. I find the slow tricky stuff the scariest, as there's plenty of time to appreciate potential disaster.

Mark, Thank you for your input, and I may just go with the plywood route. Jaxon's web store page has an annotation that an adjustment to the centerstand will be necessary when using his links, but it's not specific about what the adjustment would be...

I'm interested in your raising links, but I'm curious about the specific adjustment needed to keep the centerstand functional. As Wasp includes pads with their links that the user would need to weld to the feet of the centerstand, is that something you also provide? Is it even needed with...

It will be at 5 for sure tomorrow. I'll be calling in the morning.

I had a good look during the final shuttle docking last year. Unforgettable.

Re: Olympics - Watching USA Men's Gymnastics Implode I certainly agree about the coverage - it's definitely much better than usual. Panem et circenses!
