    Boots..what are YOU wearing?

    Another vote for the Forma Adventure Low. Extremely comfortable out of the box, water proof and sturdy! I have had a near miss, and these boots saved my ankle for sure, that along with the traction control and I was able to keep riding. I also have many twelve hour days in these. In fact, I...

    Gen III: Rear brake pedal went low

    Thank you all for the advise, I do appreciate it. And Joe, I am well versed in DOT 4 as I spent 25 years in the service business... That and I spilled half a bottle on a Snapper mower once, lol! And just to be clear, I did do a search and what I was finding did not relate to my issue, at least...

    Gen III: Rear brake pedal went low

    Thank you for the response G. I am going to add this to my maintenance list as I have an oil change coming up... However, as of now the brakes are working perfectly, but also not something I want to just ignore either. And ignacio, you are one of the reasons I am starting to really dislike...

    Gen III: Rear brake pedal went low

    So, I had an interesting thing happen yesterday. I have never experienced this before and I am not sure exactly what to think at this moment.... Here is the story. 2015 ES model with 11,000 miles. I am on the return leg from a 350 mile trip and had been riding for approximately 1 hour 20...

    Any good deals on a Givi E55 top case?

    I was $253 delivered to my door from Motostorm for a Givi SR357 Mount and V47 Tech box just a couple of months ago. And, it came quickly and complete with all the parts. I also experienced zero installation problems. Good luck

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    Actually Graler I was ready to buy them for $239, but none of my regular haunts had them in stock. I google shopped and that's when I found them from Motostorm. I will say even at $239 they are a good buy especially when compared to all the other choices out there for a lot more money.

    Givi SR357 Fit

    Bought mine from Motostorm, came with all the right stuff and bolted up on my 2015ES no problem. Took me longer to inspect and match up everything than it did to install... Have put on several thousand miles without an issue, including my last trip two-up with gear. One thing I have learned...

    Forma Low Adventure boots

    I bought a pair ealier this spring and absolutely love them. I have put in many 12 hour days and they were comfortable all day, including several short hikes. In fact last week I took a week to ride Oregon and the coast. I hit some rain and even had them out on the beach where they got...

    Anyone using the GenII/GenIII seat from Seat concepts?

    Quick update. I have since put on over 7,000 miles and have spent several 10+ hour riding days and just returned from a touring ride up and down the Oregon coast. I have to say my butt is great. On the final day I actually took several side routes and spent close to 11 hours covering the...

    What to do with our "riding gear" while we are in the museum?

    I bought a nice bicycle chain, has a fabric cover and rubberized ends. When I go into a store the lock goes through the helmet, then through the sleeve of my jacket and around the luggage rack mount. And it will also double for an actual bike lock should that become necessary. For me this...

    Questions for darksiders

    Actually Fred, I did look at that... But I had a hard time trying to decipher through the 206 responses for answers to my questions and thought I would start a simple thread to get them... And as far as not being "technical", not sure why it isn't? Bottom line, just trying to get some answers...

    Questions for darksiders

    OK, this is not to rehash the argument or debate between MC and Car tires, but to ask some questions for those that have turned. First, what tire are you using and/or what do you recommend, size and psi would be appreciated, and why? Second, does this make a difference with the front? Or...
