The "stiffy" does indeed strengthen the rear sub-frame, but I can't help but feel that the SR357 is a better and stronger solution, it's just the appearance that might not suit some.

I earned my IBA # on a 1977 Yamaha XS750

That guy is on an FJR, and he is more than capable of the distance. He knows exactly what he is doing :D

Some nice pictures of my bike :) I'm missing it. Last I heard it was somewhere in Ohio, running well.

Not sure how the R/R is relevant to this issue. It's nowhere near the stator cover and it either works or it fries. I guess I'm not even sure this is an issue at all ... lmao

I fitted one like that into the OEM headlight of my 1986 Venture Royale. Loved it and I would probably retrofit the FJR but I would want LED Projectors.

I have a Gen 1 with the Givi SR346. I carry a hefty load in the top case and it hasn't been an issue. If you are planning on 400 to 600 mile days, it seems the Laam seat will work just fine. If you are thinking that you might up the mileage from that I'd strongly recommend getting the Russell...

Some do, most don't. What they require is reliable position tracking. When pushed most would accept a new position every 30 minutes at the outside. This is probably not an issue East of the Mississippi, but get out west and you can ride a long time with no cell service.

Lemme know when you are bored with that AmpliRider. It's exactly what I need :D

It's a little behind, but it hasn't stopped.

Voni deserves a higher place than that !!!

It's interesting how social networking is changing some things. I have had Spot since my first rally. It was one of the conditions that I was "allowed out" if my family could have the peace of mind that a Spot track brings, whether that is in fact real or illusory. As it turned out, my wife was...

Lisa will never make Spot available like that, simply because of privacy issues. I'm surprised she released the bonus locations in advance, the IBR has never done that before and it is very welcome. Remember last time, all the speculating about where "Nutjob" was headed. A few knew, and they...

I am personally following three Spots, and my own bike is not one of them :D They are all friends, two of them I have rallied with more than once, and they are both running in the top 10. The other is just a great guy having a blast on his motorcycle. I can't say I have a favourite. It's such...

This is a well-trodden discussion. The Iron Butt Rally is held for the Riders, and the concerns of the spectators come a very distant last place. The widespread adoption of SPOT, and the points available to encourage the use have implications for the safety and privacy of the riders. Quite...

12.45pm on the 9th. For our friend in Maine, it is a 31 hour ride.

Plenty of time. Next time critical bonus is Mount Rushmore and the Group Photo. Wonder how many have it on their plan. Hammy is already close, so if he is attending he must have an "out and back" planned.

I am hearing it is our Irish IBA President on his FJR. Edit ... Correction .... It is he of Fazer fame :)

St Croix Island International Historic Site. Take a picture of the Visitor Center.

What kind of projectors are you planning to install?
