All 29- Oem topcase bracketmounting rack question I'm a fan of the factory rack. Stupid expensive, yes. But rock solid, and the look has grown on me. Plus, great for a passenger and great when strapping extra gear down for a long tour.

- 6th gen camping/road trip into Canada Yeah, I certainly had some room to spare with all that storage. I always had a couple full Nalgene bottles in with clothes inside the panniers. The tank bag was just to house a camera and charge my phone and Contour.…
- 6th gen camping/road trip into Canada These guys were right up along the highway in Japser. The guy closest to the camera was huffin' and puffin' pretty good.

- 6th gen camping/road trip into Canada The operative word being "fairly". My camp gear was pretty minimal, as were the extra clothing I brought. I did haul plenty of water and some reserve fuel for any of the group that needed it. My tool kit and gorilla…
- 6th gen camping/road trip into Canada Must have been some strange sun/video anomaly, I'd never do such a thing.
- 6th gen camping/road trip into Canada Hey guys, Last week some buddies and I did our annual road trip, this time into Canada, camping the entire way. A 2200 mile loop in total, over the course of 7 days, 6 nights. Seattle > Flathead Lake, MT > Calgary >…
- Mechanic in Seattle? What's involved in a 24k service anyway?
- Black heli bars I have them on my 2005, Ill try and get ya a pic when I'm home from my business trip next week.
- Dies while rolling to a stop [image: View Post]Royal, on 10 May 2012 - 07:02 PM, said: My bike was doing this when I bought it. I adjusted the idle to 1200rpm and the problem stopped. Same here. 5 second fix...the ride home tonight was perfect.…

- Dies while rolling to a stop Thanks guys, I'll try the idle adjust first. Do you need to remove the fairing to do this? Or release the cable from it's clip? I just tried this in the parking lot, the knob didn't want to turn...but I wasn't trying…
- Dies while rolling to a stop Sorry, what's the RR? It has no effect on the clock, the battery is new. Idle is at about 1000, which seemed lower that normal after my last oil and fluids service. How do I adjust that myself?
- Dies while rolling to a stop My 2005 has been dying while rolling to a stop, usually when I'm shifting down between 2nd and 1st and only (it seems) when Iwater temp is above 200 degrees. It's pretty random, and it always fires right back up with a…
- Which heated grips for VFR? Well, I pulled the trigger on a set of Oxford Heaterz. I'll be putting them on Helibars, wired through one of Tightwad's fuse panels (along with a Powerlet head tube set-up). I'll report back once I have everything…
- Which heated grips for VFR? Good stuff guys, thanks. I'm currently waffling between a Symtec set up with a clean, simple rocker switch. Or, the Oxfords or HotGrips type solution. Does anyone have pics of how their Oxford controller is…
- Which heated grips for VFR? Got a cse of the "while I'm at its" on my mind. Just picked up some Helibars and am thinking it's an opportune time for heated grips. What are you guys running? What do you recommend with Helibars? Where will I find the…

- Camera Reviews............ I really like my Contour GPS. Stupid simple to operate, plus I got the connect card for my iPhone...letting me make settings adjustments and preview the shot via bluetooth. Having a spare batter is nice too. Here's my…
- Enhanced license vs Passport Thanks guys, time to blow the dust off the passport and renew. The EDL is less than half the price, it's always with you and one less thing to lose which makes it an attractive alternative. Monk, I read that link before…
- Enhanced license vs Passport Looking for some advice on boarder crossing for a trip some friends and I have planned for late this summer. We'll be starting in the Seattle area, riding to Flathead Lake, MT, then punching north into Canada headed for…

- Anyone running a Zumo 550 with the XM radio option? Great info guys! [image: View Post]hondalover, on 11 January 2012 - 02:51 AM, said: As for where I mounted the antenna, it's on the top of my clutch master cylinder. You can view a picture where you can barely make out…
- Anyone running a Zumo 550 with the XM radio option? Is anyone running a Zumo 550 with the XM radio option? Curious as to how well it works and how/where you wired/placed the XM antenna? I really like the idea of one unit that satisfies my desire for nav and sat radio.…
