    "On bike" storage?

    No help for ES bikes, but nonES have quite a bit of storage under the rider's seat. Enough for air compressor, tire gauge, two different plug kits, basic tools, papers, etc.

    forma terra boots

    Ordered and received the Forma Adventures off Fleabay for $195. They say "New without tags", however, they were new with tags, just no box. True to size. No flaws on the pair I received. Nice boots for the money...

    Polaroid Cube?

    Not cheap, but I use a Garmin VIRB Ultra, with the handlebar controls. Can snap a picture, or turn video on/off by pressing one of several buttons. Great HD video and picture quality.

    Changing from Radial to Bias tires

    Ditto. Same tires ripping through the tail of the dragon, Cherohala skyway, etc. Great cornering grip.

    Changing from Radial to Bias tires

    Aw, they just don't want you to have any fun. I took the OEM tires off at around 2-3,000 miles and put Mitas E-07 Dakars on. Fantastic tire on road and off.

    Radar detector mount

    Same here. Strategy is that if you are not near anyone else, they can't hit you. I find a hole and stay in it. When it closes up, I look for another one and move to it. Regarding speeding tickets, I live on a road that has a 15 mph speed limit, and we have our own Barney Fife that shoots...

    Radar detector mount

    I'd probably have 2 tickets a week without a detector. These bikes only know two speeds - off and on . . .

    Givi S250 Toolbox Custom Mounting

    Not yet. Took me nearly 2 months to get the box as they were on back order, then got tied up on some other projects. Will try to do it before spring. If you come up with any good ideas, please post them. They say it is "weather resistant". If I get a chance, I'll go get it and check for a...

    Radar detector mount

    I used a Tech Mount. Mounts through and existing hole on the top of the left side panel, and shoots through the windshield. I'm using a Cobra DSP 9200 BT detector (Cobra was bought out by Escort, this is their first DSP detector). It shoots bluetooth through my iPhone to my Sena. I see the...

    HELP WITH FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR

    Most bike I've owned are similar. Except the other bikes tanks drop around the frame, and they use a linear sensor. So upper half of the tank holds a lot more fuel than the lower half.

    Tie Down locations for the S10

    I use heavy duty loop back tie downs wrapped around the fork tubes above the lower triple clamp. Kickstand up. In 1st gear. Also use a front wheel chock that is just put in the front of my truck bed, not permanently fastened down. This is simple to keep the wheel from turning to the side...

    Brake snake

    I have them on my dirt bikes but tie them around the lower frame tube ahead of a bolt. If tied to my skid plate, makes it hard to remove the skid plate to change the oil.

    Selling is dumb or just part of the addiction?

    My wife would tell you I'm the absolute worst person to ask. 27 bikes in the past 12 years, 3 just in the past year, 2 in the past 4 months . . . I love riding, I like change. Last year, 3 V-Twin cruisers. This year, a Super Tenere, Husky FE501 and Beta EVO 300 4T trials bike . . . Just...

    best motorcycle tire pump?

    My son teases me about what I haul with me on my ST, and my Husky . . . He's starting to get the idea though. Last fall, 20 miles from nowhere on Florida backroads he ran over a nail and went flat. Told me he would wait while I went to pick up the truck and ramps. I pulled my seat, pulled...
