+1 for stitch - I use a grey stitch all the time. It's good when moving, don't bother with rain gear anymore. Have not crash tested it, but it feels like it'll do the job. :rolleyes:

+1 open = cooler

um in my dictionary engineer and salesman have different meanings, I notice CT producers don't want all the money available from motorcyclists - wondering why? Lets see one needs to search for a CT that will fit since this is not a listed application, CT is way harder to mount or must find some...

On the way back from picking up the new 'stitch' in Duluth, travelling east North of Lake Superior on the TransCanada, saw my friends slowing down - WTF? Then I see the animal standing on the road, 2 front feet on the pavement, 2 back feet on the shoulder then :ph34r: - it's a bear. Just...

I have the rack and back rest from Premiere - very satisfied with it. I have camped but only single, wife won't camp. Singly there is ample room. The grocery thing, if possible camp and unload then go get groceries. We have done weekends with motel, again no problem - she will take up every...

[There you go, thinking again. :rolleyes: :lol: As I've said many times, it's not that different. Yes, it's more work in the tight corners, but it still does everything a moto tire does. It's not nearly as bad as you think it is. I've discussed some of the reasons why that is earlier in this...

I think this is an example of Japanese philosophy of only using the minimum that will do. For example - on Japanese bikes you will rarely see a grade 8 bolt where they figure a grade 5 will do. These melting connections cause is what? Too much current and fuse has not blown? Too light gauge...

I too have this. S.O. says not as comfortable or a much room as on Concours C10 with home made rack and back rest. I think the padding is too thick, thinking of making my own rest to attach to their mount, less padding might give pillion more room. I think for this kind of bike (i.e. not a G.W...

In mapsource you can drag the route line to where you want it. You can also put in a few waypoints and add them to the route. recalc the route. When transfer to GPS make sure you have the include route data box ticked in the lower left under the maps tab.

Have you read the 'Lost Power' thread? Could be helpful to you.

Ah grasshopper thanks you. I get it - I think!? So on a battery terminal you would use the conductive anti corrosion grease but would not want any trail of it to link to any connection with the opposite pole. In this case, you would want it not to touch any non ground connection. The dielectric...

I am confused, if dielectric is not conductive and it seems it's not, then won't coating electrical connections with the stuff make the conection worse and create more heat. Sorry I'm ignorant of electrical stuff, but if all these wires are bridged (connected??) together should something like...

I keep a plastic folder with registration and insurance in there - no prob so far. I have not tried choclate but it will turn to goo in your pocket :rolleyes: . I plug my GPS into the socket there and keep the connect chord in there - also no prob so far.

Hamilton West mountain near Upper Paradise and Scenic. From the replies and the Ontario gummint MTO web site, looks like no points off Ont. license for Fed. violations on the Roanoke area of the BRP. The BRP is good because they have taken alot of the risk out of it, well maintained, you can...

I am on my second 'stitch, first one lasted 11 years, looked bad but it was still usuable. On my C10 Concours, was in some heavy rain at times, never got wet except a spot in the crotch once. But then the C10 had one of the best fairings for protection in motorcycling. This Stitch, in its...

Yep, except for places it's reduced to 35 mph.

:angry2: Got a passing on double yellow and speeding on BRP near Roanoke. The speeding is doubtful - I doubt I was going over 60mph and friend following agrees with me. Anyhow, this was not exactly addressed on a 2008 thread but - does anyone KNOW FOR SURE if the info will be transferred to Ont...

The Concours Owner's Group has a rally at Fontana Village next week. I'll arrive there Tues. Don't have to be a member or own a Concours to participate in COG events. Although, my only bike is the Feej I am still a member. It's about 1,000 miles but stretching on back roads to 3 days to get...

:glare: the octane rating on Premium vs regular gasoline is a measure of knock resistance. The latent heat or energy or power between grades of pump gas properly mixed with air is more or less the same. Often 'premium' is spec'd for high compression engines, however modern electronics often...

If the key is so worn that it may stop working, what shape is the tumbler in the switch in? Just a new key may not fix it.
