You get inverted forks on the ES which I think is a significant improvement...and the main reason I upgraded from a 13A to a 14ES. If you have a GP suspension shock upgrade on your 05, your shock could be transferred to a GEN3 A model. My personal opinion, after riding a 13A and a 2008 with...

The answer is NO and NO. The A and ES may have the same max load ratings because they share the same frame and tires but the rear sag rates will be different for any given weight because the models have different rear linkage ratios and the rear shocks have different spring rates and different...

Actually it can get better than that....if you wait to exchange your US dollars to Canada dollars after you cross the border into Canada...at least that has been my experience. US banks routinely charge a 4-7 percent fee to convert funds, the Canada banks seem to be in the 2-3 percent range...

I had a 13A and currently have a 14ES. I have run the 14ES above 80mph on CC about 10 seconds longer than I ran the 13A above 80 mph on CC. Maybe that will change in 2017 but I kind of doubt it.

Shortening the stand will make it easier to lift but if you shorten it too much the rear tire will make contact with the ground and decrease the bike's stability when on the stand. I don't think I have an inch of clearance between the tire and ground but shortening the stand by a half inch may...

I used to mix about 30cc of transmission sealer in with new fork oil and it was a fairly effective way to stop minor fork leaks but it was only a temporary fix. if the Seal Mate doesn't work then you probably need new seals.

Same here.....

I think the first half set an all time record for the most commercials...most of which were terrible. Maybe the second half will break that that record.

I would find a hotel before you announce dates....the last time I was there everything was very expensive.

Much larger saddlebags, a functional luggage rack, and 2 helmet locks.

I rode about 3,000 miles in Mexico in 2007 both on the mainland and the Baja. The roads varied from very smooth to two lane goat trails and the most common motorcycles I saw (by far) were BMW GS models. I was riding a GL1800 but had a very nice V-Strom at the time with a Wilbers...

From what you described, you will probably have to go down to a 750 lb spring to achieve a notable improvement. If that spring rate turns out to be a little "light" for some riding conditions, its easy to add some compression damping to compensate.

Back when I weighed about 210 GP Suspension recommended a 750-800 lb spring but I have ridden bikes with a Penske shock and a 850 lb spring that had very plush rides. I also rode a Penske with a 800 lb spring that had a extremely rough ride as did my Wilbers shock when I upgraded from a 650 to...

I hear you....I lusted for a used CL160 but was still in college and couldn't afford it.

Honda 90s, bought new in March 1968 for $225. Didn't put very many miles on it but learned a lot and had a lot of fun riding it. I would be scared today to ride something that small and underpowered on public roads.

Larry's daughters took over the business after his first accident, a low speed fall from a bicycle. I placed a couple of small orders with them after that for C14 parts with mixed results. They were very timely when they had the parts in stock but if they had to back order it was a hit and...

It doesn't matter when you ride the DakAL, just make sure you don't miss the Saturday night steak diinner.....and work the same magic on the steaks that you did in 2015.

IN....had a nice conversation with Scott and there is one less Queen bed room available at the Bells Motor Lodge.

A better question is whether you should install it at all given the environment in which it will be used. I would guess that the sock is going to trap a lot of dust from your driveway that you are not going to be able to wash off.
