Magnetic is the type I have decided to purchase…… NOW to sort out the tons of various manufacturers and styles. Anyone had any non-positive experiences with a particular brand not standing up well to UV or faulty zippers or other product failures?

I like MadMike’s Optx 20/20 stick on idea for my sun glasses….. I would NOT want them on the shield….. I am to the point that it will not be too long before I will probably be stuck wearing my Rx glasses all the time; but I am still strongly resisting as long as I can. Like Geezer, my lenses...

I have the same set up on my bike; (two 2X4 light sets mounted each side of the license plate). I was so impressed when I say the difference they made on FJRay’s bike I ordered them the first day I saw them. I could not believe the difference the light make even during the day. The double 2X8...

Was the Cordura jacket a 500, 620 or 1,000 Denier???? There is a 1:5 factor difference in pounds to tear and 1:2½ cycles to failure between the 500 and the 1,000…….. I saw the photos posted of the low-speed get-off damage results and was quite impressed….. just not very positively……did not look...

I have always felt that the only truly effective security system is “An Honest Heavily Armed Guard”. Anything less is pretty much a false sense of security for a somewhat talented thief that is determined. (id est…. “somewhat talented thief” = one equipped with appropriate precision...

Agreed. I registered and paid for NAFO-6 (and I am not rich) and took my chances. Unplanned surgery precluded my attending but the biggest regret was missing the event, not the money. Money comes and goes (just look at your receipts at the gas pump), but NAFO-1 only comes once. I am not going to...

Last year I had no problem plopping down the $$$ for WFO-06. Needless to say I was not a happy camper when life through me a curve (Feces Occurs) and I could not attend the event. I was disappointed that I could not get my $$$ back, but that was NOTHING compared to having to accept the fact that...

Am I doing this wrong or does everyone really sit on TOP of the engine????? I though my engine was located somewhat forward of the area that a SEAT would protect….. Let me know how that group buy comes together……. KEN

What was your overall evaluation of the Bridgestone tires?

I love my Russell seat but they had my seat before the build date and were still two weeks late in getting it done. They also failed to put in the springs I requested for the rear seat…… While I am very happy with the seat, I was disappointed in the customer service. They don’t seem to...

Interesting information, but do you have any idea of the source for the information it contains? Not that I would care to contest their “Tear and Abrasion Strengths”, but I would like to know that the quoted values are an industry wide accepted value or supported by independent testing.

Thanks for the update!!! Unfortunate about the quality of their products. Ken

With my luck I would get busted for ripping off the restaurant.........

Wheaton, Oh, c'mon. 161 miles is the best you got for day 7. Is this a day of rest from all the hard work you will've done the first 6 days. A time to reflect back on the first six and say, "All is very good". But seriously, what a trip. Depending on how many hard miles you put on at NAFO...

Good atricle. Lots of good information. Ken

Silly Me!!!!! I thought this topic would help answer more questions for me than it would create…… {id est ignorance is bliss…syndrome} It has brought a lot of great tips, ideas and considerations, but has also added a few LAYERS of additional factors, products, vendors, etc…. {id est –...

Just one state tooooooo far north for me….. I would love to do it in OR...

Yours was really the first really “Pro Strap Mount” reply. The security issue is never ending with any farkle or other non-welded on parts….. I saw a small cover that somewhat deals with that issue. It covers the windscreen and back to the seat so that the stuff (farkle) is at least out of...

AT 42 L..... .I guess I should have taken you quite literally........

I am finding two descriptions for the T-419 The one on the GIVI website says it is expandable 20 to 30 L and on some other sites it shows it as 25 to 42 L………. Surely there are not TWO varieties of the same bag…. Wouldn’t they number them differently or have some kind of nomenclature...
