I use the same airhawk pad but strapped on as designed. Everyone is different but I love it for long rides. I prefer to remove it for off road use as it is a bit bulky. Can you send us a picture of the finished product? I might consider doing this. Thanks for posting.

Roger that. Although in the past I have had luck going left first then right then left. No luck this time. I didn't get a chance to work on it last night maybe tonight.

Thanks guys will try the impact wrench first.

Tried to install my AltRider crash bars last night and ran into a road block. The two bolts under the steering column that require a 17mm socket are tight. Working with a 3/8 drive breakover bar I twisted a 3 inch Craftsman extension. Before I take a 1/2 x 18 breakover bar to it I wanted to...

To fix mine I pushed out the hinge pins, drilled holes all the way through, inserted small threaded rod with acorn caps and threadlocker on both ends. Lock nuts would work also. I've read somewhere that on the early production models the hinge holes were too big to hold the knurled end of the...

I like everything about them except they leak a little and I don't think they are as robust as the Happy Trail panniers on my KLR. The big bag would hold a full face I think or two smaller skull type helmets. Don't know for sure I don't use them that way. I love the way the Givi rack comes...

Yes punch mark is on the handlebar. Yes it is simple. Make sure you apply molybdenum grease to the grip cable where it folds in the housing as described in the Yamaha Maintenance book. It is easily overlooked and can cause problems. I think you will find a long discussion about this earlier...

Thanks all

Oops sorry. I meant to say oem heated grips. The directions call for md grease. I've read on other threads this step was missed by some causing wire chaffing. The grease goes on and around the wire on the throttle side. The wire rubs against the housing and itself.

Where does one find it? I've tried auto zone and Orielys. Installing my oem grips. Thanks in advance.

Anyone familiar with a Morgan carbtune? I don't see any reason that won't work for synchronizing the Tenere. Planing on doing this mod this weekend. Used it on my Connie years ago.

I loved last years VW ad with a boy who thought he was Darth Vader. The following is a teaser for this years Super Bowl Spot. The Bark Side: 2012 Volkswagen Game Day Commercial Teaser

Hope this doesn't offend anyone I think it is hilarious. Beware some fowl language. http://www.youtube.com/v/nUY-H3vWhzY%26hl :D

I took a course from these guys. http://www.rawhyde-offroad.com/home.html Growing up on dirt bikes I was a bit skeptical of any benefit for me. Wrong. While I excelled in the class I still learned a lot and made some great like minded friends. Many of the items mentioned in this thread were...

My skid plate came in yesterday. Happy MLK day for me. Looks great in the box. I'm really amazed how Jaxon and I agreed to terms and within one week I have the finished custom product. Amazing.

Happy Reading http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/165860/2011-good-for-two-wheel-category.html

Please do.

Would that be line - x ?

It is my intent to rhino liner it or powder coat black. Want to look at adding hwy pegs first. Will eventually post pics of the finished product. The idea was to take some of the bulk out of the unit using horizontal lines. I think it is an improvement and I am thrilled. Blacking it out...

Count me in.
