    Big Green Egg (BGE)

    My family had one when I was a kid, and we enjoyed it for many years. My Dad brought it home from a voyage to the Far East in the early 1960's (he was a master mariner on a cargo ship). It was big, easily weighing upwards of 300 pounds. Its mass was one of the things that afforded excellent...

    My Impressions of the MV Motorrad Bar Riser

    The risers came with a bucket load of documentation (in German), mostly legalese to satisfy EU requirements as they're seriously fussy about what you can attach to your vehicle. But there were several English language installation pages as well, which they may have inadvertently omitted in your...

    3rd Gen Windshield Tuning

    I have the OEM Touring windshield. From Twisted Throttle, added the MRA Touring X-screen. This model is their touring screen that also comes with their "clamp-on" adapter. Can be mounted either bolt on or clamp on.

    Big Trunk, Little Trunk, Rack, Bags?

    I've replaced my stock luggage rack with a passenger backrest/luggage rack combo offered by Garauld TechWorks LLC (Gary) on this forum. Allows for both passenger comfort/safely and flexible carriage of large duffles. He makes stuff to order, but no doubt there are other such solutions.

    OEM Touring screen with Laminar Lip 2014

    Hi, Jay. I'm a fan of finding new innovations of product applications, and this would certainly seem to be an "off label" application. The note here says: Does Not Fit Yamaha Touring Shield So I wanted to ask how the Laminar Lip worked out for you on the Touring windshield. Thanks!

    Inexpensive accurate voltage meter set up

    Very nice, MrZappo! Interesting fuse location, though. You do have an additional fuze on your pigtail close to the battery, yes?

    Larger Windscreen or Not

    Yes, it did shake around a bit more, which was a concern at first, most noticeably when just overtaking tractor-trailer rigs (interestingly, trailers with side skirts seem to noticeably reduce such turbulence). Adjusting the angle and height of the MRA screen has an impact on this behavior...

    Larger Windscreen or Not

    On my '15: Yamaha Stock windshield = not good. Yamaha Touring windshield = better, but still too much turbulence. Yamaha Touring windshield + "Fred W"-style spacers = much more better; more and smoother air, but lost a bit of height. Yamaha Touring windshield + "Fred W"-style spacers + MRA...

    D & H Cycle - Culmann, AL

    D&H Cycle is simply one of the best resources around - even if you don't actually buy the YES package from them. Just mentioning them got my local dealer down to within $10 of D&H's YES pricing. An apparently effective negotiating strategy (at least if you're not a Florida resident).
