    Dropped it

    FWIW - the Canyon Cages + Slider prevented any damage to my bike when dropped - and it has taken a couple naps in the last few years... Just scratches on both slider and the bottom of the cage....

    New GPS or still the same ol stuff ?

    Jeebus Clist Uncle Hud...... LMAO - could you even see the road with that out door projector in your face hahahahahah As I linked above - the 4G units with onboard GPS units are out there.... and tons of GPS apps for android out there avail now... I might swing at the pitch for this one -...

    New GPS or still the same ol stuff ?

    Could be much easier to make that all happen if one just had a dedicated 4G chip in the tablet and paid the bill for it.... Or heck you could even swap your phone chip to the tablet at onset of the journey.... Dedicated onboard GPS apps - or google maps via LTE network - seems like the...

    Dropped it

    All bikes like to take a nap from time to time..... It happens.... But that is the reason I bought the Canyon cages and sliders that mount to it.... Especially when I saw what the cost of damage to the front nose assembly to replace, when the mirrors snap off... Was worth every...

    2016ES - Vstrom Handguards?

    $43.95 + ship from bikebandit here.... regardless - if it'll allow me to ride longer in the colder weather - especially with my 2 fingers that have Raynaud syndrome and no circulation its priceless.... Glad I came back here to revisit some threads and get some reading in...

    New GPS or still the same ol stuff ?

    I hear ya John..... I hate going into a full price model that is likely going to be replaced in a short period of time.... Anyone know how often garmin comes out with new models. ?

    K1600 interesting read

    After going out on a super fun long ride with a buddy who just bought the new 2018 bmw 1200 gs - cool bike and features.. Every now and then I get bored, and like to scour and do homework on a replacement sport touring bike that sits in the garage next to my FJR and the FZ09.... I am on my...

    New GPS or still the same ol stuff ?

    I'd prefer the larger screen honestly.... I agree 100%...... Unlike the boating world, the GPS options are plentiful and very much up to date and on the cutting edge.... Big screens, waterproof multi function units (radar, depth finder, GPS, engine data etc) that are very robust.... though...

    New GPS or still the same ol stuff ?

    Perhaps, but do you think you'll ever get a straight forward answer from Garmin !?!? Much less an answer at all.. Honestly - I don't waste my time asking those stupid questions of companies that generally have lack luster customer support, or seriously rely on a company to give you an honest...

    New GPS or still the same ol stuff ?

    My 550 I got for $100 off Craiglist pretty much brand new, is still hummin along, but wouldn't mind investing in something newer or bigger... I generally use it as a backup, and run my phone with google maps as my main stay using it for music via bluetooth.... I'm very familiar with the pro's...

    love the bike, the stock seat not so much

    I got a Seth Laam and I'm very happy with it..... looks great and is comfy with the wings much like the russell, just didn't want them as big as the russell. I had purchased an extra set of pans to ship it in so I could still ride..... Remember - he's a one man show (at least he was at the...

    Wow, that was close!

    Exactly why I am so leary about all the russians that have come here to our area - con artists They tried to see how far they could get at my business by trying to lie and cheat - I never backed down, told them all to tell their friends, now I rarely see them.

    Wow, that was close!

    Yup- gotta keep your eyes out for sure.... Was on our way up to Road America for a nice day..... riding on a two lane road, just left a stop light, heading up to another light. 2-3 cars in front of me rolling up on the red, 2-3 cars in the right lane, I notice this guy who is on my right...

    Garmin 590LM Group Buy

    As much as that is a fantastic price - I'll stick to my trusty ol 550 that I snatched off of craigslist for $100. I really mainly use my google maps on my phone, but having a backup GPS and a birds eye view of all the twisty roads in the immediate area on the 550 makes for a great combo..... I...

    Torque loss after service.

    I will add, didn't actually read each response - but I have seen first hand, power loss after a TBS. I did it on my own 05, and then did it on my good friends 04 the same day. He took it out and complained about way less power..... I took it out for a ride to check for myself, and it felt way...
