    Can you talk me out of buying a Scala Rider Q1 Teamset?

    I have had the sena and now have the Q1. Both were good. I DO like the ability to use earbuds with the Q1. The included little speakers were never quote loud enough for me, but depending on what kind of windscreen you are running, it might work. Range on the SMH10 was about 1000 ft. Meaning...

    WTB: Shad SH50 Top Case-any condition

    You probably want more than I want to pay for it. Especially if it's new. Which I get, totally. I'm hoping to find one that is a bit beat up and scratched up so I can get it uber cheap. I plan on making a dog carrier out of it for my Chihuahua/Pekinese pup. Basically want to hole saw a 4"...

    WTB: Shad SH50 Top Case-any condition

    I'm looking for a Shad SH50 top case in literally ANY condition. I don't need the mount, or hardware, just the case. anyone have something like this kicking around after an accident, write off or bambi-slaying? LMK. Thanks! ***EDIT***: I think any of the larger top cases will work. SH40-SH50

    Vstream vs OEM screen.

    I'm sure this has been covered a bajillion times over the years, but for anyone considering the Vstream over the OEM screen, here's the difference: I went on a couple of short rides with it today and it certainly blocks a lot of air. I'm 5'8" and in the full down position, the wind hits me...

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    For some reason, I always forget the "after" pic when cooking brisket. Would you settle for a pic of me napping?

    Smokers (BBQ - not grilling)

    This 10lb brisket is going on the Traeger tonight to get some overnight smoke. Dinner tomorrow and lunches next week are going to be amazing!

    2008 FJR vs 2015 Triumph Trophy SE

    I had the opportunity this morning to swap bikes with a buddy. He has the 2015 Trophy SE. HOLY COMFY BATMAN! I could ride that thing to the moon! A more upright riding style, much taller windscreen with a LOT more travel in the windscreen adjustment. Seat was pretty comfy, the design of the...

    Custom rack for top case anyone?

    To be clear, I am looking for a custom rack to go ON TOP of my SH50, rather than the oem one pictured. I am probably going to source a local weld shop to make one for me. I will get them to reinforce the rear internal bracket at the same time. I will post pics when I am done. Cheers, RB

    Custom rack for top case anyone?

    Has anyone created a custom rack for their top case? I think the Shad one for my SH50 is a little small and a little overpriced for what it is. Has anyone had one made up or made one up themselves? My son in law is a welder and I was thinking of having him make one this winter for me. I did...

    1st tank of fuel observations...

    Once the snow flies here I will be adding the tapered roller bearings to my list of winter mods and maintenance. Unfortunately, that means waiting until spring to have an answer. :) In the meantime, I will keep at least one hand on the bars and enjoy the extended riding season we have been...

    First mod...baby needs power for her toys...

    I will get a pic of it in the morning, but it went through the mounting hole for the rear deck.

    First mod...baby needs power for her toys...

    This was a bit more involved than I thought...had to remove the rear top box, case, platform and bracket to run the wire. My GF needed a power port too. (Btw, weird spot for the battery...used to it being under the seat!)

    1st tank of fuel observations...

    Tires are Avon AV65-front, AV66-rear. These are the 3D Storm X-M model. I will check the tire pressures when I get home tonight. I don't see any date codes that look like the ones on the link that infrared shared. This is what was on the sidewall: ***EDIT***, I found the date codes - May of...

    1st tank of fuel observations...

    Hey thanks for all the awesome advice folks! I will leave the rear fender as is. I don't do a LOT of riding in the rain, but with longer tours like I plan, you never know what happens. I have contacted Kaoko about the throttle lock not working properly and am working with them on a solution...

    1st tank of fuel observations...

    Some thoughts after a full day with the FJR and about 500ish kms: Wow. Comfy much? Other than some small ergonomic tweaks to be done, it was an awesome day of touring. Holy smooth power batman! What a joy to drive. Ummm...why am I being thrown around by transport truck air again...

    Looking at trading my 08 M109R2 for an 08 FJR...thoughts?

    Well....he messaged me back tonight and the deal is back on. LOL. His GF told him to quit dicking around and pull the trigger. She likes the M109 and got him to accept my offer. So both bikes go in for safeties on Monday and we will swap at some point next week! I'm pretty stoked! Once I...
