    Road conditions on NM 111

    I'm planning a Santa Fe to Santa Fe loop for September. Actually, I'm planning three but have a question about one loop. The preliminary route is SF north to Abiquiu then on up to Chama. On the return take 64 to 285 at Tres Piedras then south on 285 back to Santa Fe. 285 looks very straight and...

    WY Old Highway 14

    West of Sheridan, WY is a place called the Medicine Wheel. I've been there many years ago via car and can't recall how much of the road is paved. I know there is a parking lot and then you have to hike up a gravel road to the medicine wheel. What I'd like to know is is the road up to the...

    sighting: 11/01/09

    I'm getting my stock seat worked over by a local shop. I picked up the rough draft on Thursday and today was the first chance I had to take it out for 2-3 hours to test it out. From the KS side I took I-470 to US50 to Warrensburg, MO then north to Concordia, MO then back home via I-70. I had...

    Any GenII stock seats for loan?

    On 9/23 I'm scheduled to take my '08 stock seat in to a local (to KC) seat guy to have him rework it. The hope is that he'll provide a cost-effective solution that allows my bony butt to put in consecutive 400-500 mile days. Cost effectiveness is important but also I'd like a solution that...

    seat question for guys w/in a days ride of KC

    I've got an '08 and had the stock seat reworked by Spencer last winter. I've done the breakin and still find it lacking so I'm searching for other options. I have done some research here and sort of settled on the BMS. However, I think I may try one other alternative before dropping over $400...

    Any members in Estes Park?

    I'll be in Estes Park Saturday through Wednesday. Looking for a secure place to park my FJR for 4-5 days since the house we are renting is up a steep, graveled and rutted road. Thanks. Lee

    Anyone ever tried this?

    I've been looking for offset pegs for the Wild Bills highway set up. I ran across M/C enterprise's 45 degree brackets for highway pegs, part #380. They can be ordered direct from them and just the brackets (no pegs) for $30. They are 5" center of hole to center of hole and kick the pegs out...

    Cheap, easy helmet lock (theft deterent)

    I've been slightly bugged that I don't have a helmet lock. I don't always have room in the side case and don't always feel secure leaving it on the bike unlocked. I saw the recent posts on the order for bar end helmet locks and started thinking about an alternative. I first came up with the...

    Amp draw for PIAA dual sport horns

    There is a lot of info on this forum re: the draw of Magnam Blasters and other after-market horns. I was still curious about these specific horns and whether an installation w/o a relay would cause me problems down the line. I was not able to find that sort of information on the PIAA dual...

    Front end lift

    I really like the recent work done on a stainless steel front end lift. I also looked at some of the commercial varieties and considered purchasing one at about $90. Not a bad price. I have limited tools and limited skills, can't weld, don't have that equipment so I considered what I could...

    magnetic tank bags

    this topic title and description sort of says it all. I have a magnetic tank bag that I like a lot. I like detaching the tether and taking it with me into stops on the road instead of unhooking a bag. I've ridden with my digital camera inside and never noticed a problem. Well, come to think...
