All 24- 5th gen front end / front brake issues. Never followed back up on this post. Problem has been resolved. I had on hand or ordered, get this, not 1, not 2, but 3 used rotors that all had issues. They all had some degree of warp or bend in the carrier. Sucked it…

- Givi TankLock tank bag install, modification, and comments. Mine has been on the bike for almost all of the 10,000 miles I have put on it since October. No issues at all and it is holding up fine. It does not turn as it has fingers or tabs that lock into the ring. I am not sure…
- NEED PICTURE- Gen5 Unmodified Rear, specifically the reflector... Other side pic just in case you need it. Pretty sure this is a completely unmodified state for my 98, I later covered that area with hard luggage and such. [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image]
- Strapping stuff down Rok Straps. Only thing I use. I threw away the cheap bungee net and gave my old bungee chords to a friend. Rok straps don't have metal hooks to bend or worse yet scratch your bike. Never had one come loose and I think…

- Givi TankLock tank bag install, modification, and comments. In the past I have used a variety of magnetic mount tank bags on my bikes. I have always gotten minor blemishes or scratches from frequent use but never really cared since my bikes were always well used and not free of…
