I'll try to get a photo in the near future. Looks like he shaved quite a bit off the bottom in a couple of places.

Yes, and no. I bought the Smuggler and rear rack used. The previous owner modified the Smuggler to make it work with the rear rack. As for the 'no' part, if you buy a brand new Smuggler, Corbin has said they have changed it and it works with that Yamaha accessory aluminum rack.

Ride more, stress less!

Nicely done homemade farkle! I don't love the topcase, but it does come in handy in certain situations. I mount it for my passenger when two-up, or when travelling and need the extra storage. A couple days ago I took my first ride with the newer Yamaha aluminum rear rack. Much more...

Nice. Well done.

Damn dude! That sucks. I can only imagine how frustrating this is for you. What a weird problem.

I am the opposite. I love the one piece suit specifically because I can take it off and have normal clothes for whatever activity. Go into a restaurant with jeans and a shirt. Wear shorts under it if you want. I live in Arizona and ride it in all types of weather. Above 90° it gets a bit warm...

I'm sure somebody has done, or attempted a repair like that but I have never seen it and it is going to be very difficult unless you really know what you are doing. Most folks would just replace the panel. The problem is, Yamaha most likely doesn't make new one's anymore. I would be on ebay...

If it's working for you, good on you. I am just really surprised it's working for you at your weight with that spring.

Not too bad at all. There are some available for $900 cheaper in West Virginia.

I can't even imagine how much fun it is (not) swapping out an ABS block.

That $15k is freaking awesome deal. Especially considering back in 2004 the 'A' model had an MSRP of $12,600. Depending on how much the '14 is, I would be all over that. More detail: I am a fan of the ES suspension. But it might not be ideal for you if you on the heavier side. Or, you like...

Other than the lack of paragraphs;), that was an awesome ride report JP!!! Glad you and Mel got out for some riding in such beautiful weather. I have the opposite down here. Its been between 60-85 degrees the past week or so, Terrible! Sorry to hear about your mom. I can only imagine what...

Nice. If only it was the correct size for me. I love my Stitch one piece suits. So much so that I have four of them, my first almost completely worn out and about to me retired. I love how I can remove the suit and be in jeans and looking like a normal person at lunch stops and such. Plus...

I'll take it!
