My experience with the new shock turned out to be short lived. I longed for the days when a sport touring bike didn't mean a 600+ pound bike. As a result I set out to build up a light weight sport touring bike. Here is the final result: But back to the shock, Any ride height change was...

Keep in mind that the wire can be very small, 22-26 gauge is fine. I ran a 4 conductor cable through the bottom of the case on the left side. I purchased a computer fan extension cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DN7B8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 because it had a...

During the buildup of my compact sport touring bike https://www.fototime.com/CF592B8F6C93712/medium800.jpg I wanted to add LED lights to the Givi top case. Admore has a kit for the V46 case but it only utilizes the center red circles for tail/stop and it costs $99. I'd seen where others had done...

I completed the sale of my 2006 last night The new owner was all smiles. I hope to get my new small/mid-sized sport touring project on the road in the next few weeks. I'm sure my time here will drop drastically so I'll take this opportunity to thank all those who have been helpful during my...

This has come up before, and I've read the posts I found in my Google search. Since some of those go back as far as 2008, I'm looking for some more up-to-date experience. I've got a set of Givi bags on the way that have a smooth plastic insert on the case lids in the same place you'd find the...

Hurricane, UT is 20 miles from the west entrance to Zion NP and about 100 miles to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Fly into Las Vegas, I'll pick you up and you'll have a great start to a fly-buy-ride trip.

I've been talked into being willing to accept $4900, but....the buyer needs to convince the wife putting any sale on hold. I thought I might as well offer the same deal here since your money is just as green. I couldn't pass on a great deal on a local dual sport and bought it this morning. I...

Everybody needs a sexy Italian to play with, and here is your chance. I'm in the process of acquiring another bike I will be making into a light weight sport touring ride. With four bikes already in the stable I need to make room, so my Ducati has to go. The bike is in excellent condition with...

100% in agreement. There is nothing wrong with using the side stand while you get your straps loosely attached just be sure you put it up as well. Placing the bike on the center stand raised the center of gravity and makes it much more likely that the bike will move around. The two small steel...
