    New HeliBar design - anyone using? Comments?

    The other post should have read "...with the bars set full forward..." since back would leave less room. I've been extremely happy with my riser plate. Cutting through the wire loom was a ***** but everything else went very smooth.

    New HeliBar design - anyone using? Comments?

    I'm using that riser with my Bags-connection Trial bag which isn't exactly small. With the bars set in the middle I can honk the horn at full lock. It doesn't hit with the bars set full forward but I don't like it there. No biggie to me that the bars touch the bag as The added comfort more than...

    Will going to a 190/55 rear help bring my speedo a little closer to reality?

    My Gen3 reads 1mph more than my Garmin up to about 45 where it starts reading 2mph more. I've only run up to about 120 but it was still reading 2 above GPS. Where I live there is definitely no issue with misreads due to curves or elevation changes. 😢

    2 is more than I've found in Illinois. National forests are usually good for twisties but the Shawnee is rather pathetic. At least the camping is decent.

    TMI. Definitely TMI.

    East Texas in December

    Okay, I admit I hosed this up. Since I didn't get the build date moved I didn't apply for a kitchen pass or time off work. If I didn't suck so bad I'd have thought to ask about a loaner seat but I don't know many of you and underestimated you guys. I won't be going with you. Did I mention how...

    Just dropped my seat in the mail to Seth Laam today so I'm out. Hope you boys find a good place to camp and have safe, fun rides. Hope to catch up next time.

    2016 Pants Adventures - Advice, Ideas, and Input Encouraged!

    If you're looking at doing th U P why not go on around the Great Lakes? A couple of weeks sounds long enough. That's one of the options I'm looking at for next year. Ever been to Canada?

    Motorcycle Camping - Where to Start? Try Here!

    Dryer lint works great! I've used cotton balls with Vaseline in them which is also great but never Vaseline with dryer lint. Should work though.

    Motorcycle Camping - Where to Start? Try Here!

    @RJAMT--If that's your dog, lucky you. He's a beauty. Boxers are the best dogs going, IMHO. That was Dillon. He's the one that died at 10 yrs old during my recent trip out west with pants and redfish. He wasn't my first Boxer. They have all been wonderful. I half-joking say he'd hold the...

    WTB: SW-MOTECH GPS quick release mount specific to the FJR

    I have one but it won't work now that I put the riser plate on.

    Motorcycle Camping - Where to Start? Try Here!

    Not sure if you remember my setup from our trip but I've been very happy with my Dryspec D66 set. The larger bag is roll top and has a hard bottom and sides to keep its shape when not full. That can be removed if desired. The liner is white which really helps when digging around in low light...

    Maybe not but I wouldn't be surprised if your pop is.

    Trailer? So I guess that WAS a little H-D tattoo you were trying to hide back in Arkansas! Maybe I'll see if I can get bumped up on the schedule or something. Lemme get back to you. Most likely outcome: I get the seat schedule changed, beg off work, cash in brownie points with the wife, pack...

    Oh sure. I ask you about camping this winter and you go and plan something for the very week my seat will be arriving at Seth Laam's place to get turned into something tolerable? Not very nice!

    Get Busy Living

    I was hoping you would have a ride so you could join me on a trip to Wyoming and the Dakotas next year! Glad things seem to be working out for you.

    Lamest Ride to Eat ever or a great Saddlesore 1000?

    Is the submarine U.S.S. Drum still there? Haven't been down to Mobile in a decade.

    Went to High School in Memphis. The BBQ around there truly is outstanding.

    GPS Help: Where to Mount?

    You guys are talking about having your eyes off the road too much if the gps isn't directly in your vision. I only glance at mine occasionally. I can listen to the directions so no need to stare at the screen. If I need to plan a new route I pull over and do it. I guess I just don't get what you...

    GPS Help: Where to Mount?

    That's how mine was mounted until I put the Helibar on then it wouldn't fit. Kept it on the tank bag until I had a chance to order a ball mount to fit the Helibar provided hole. Now it's in basically the same spot as before, just on a different mount.
