    An air horn is a must

    Welcome. Yep, factory horns are downright dangerous and should be outlawed. I put a Stebel on the Gen I my son has, and also on my Gen III. For the Gen I, we used the left side horn mount to hang a bracket for the Stebel. For the Gen III, there is a black plastic deflector plate mounted to the...

    Trailer Build - hopefully in improvement to my current one

    It's been fun watching the progress of this build. Seems like the extra battery in the trailer is a great idea to power the dome light but you might consider looking into whether to use the bike's charging system to recharge it if you haven't already done so. The bike's regulator / rectifier is...

    DIY Mirror Extensions

    "Update: After 500 kms I realize I haven't had to dip my elbows a single time. That's a worthwhile improvement for me. And it only took a day or so to get used to the somewhat more elephant-eared appearance. " Nice work! Did you modify something to get that, or is it made from scratch?

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank fuel pump or not

    Good point. the internal port sizes of any of the fuel line components can have a big impact. The fuel pump might be masking some of it. I looked at port sizing closely when selecting valves and such. The fuel cap even if not vented shouldn't make a difference in flow rate, if it does, you might...

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank fuel pump or not

    Might double check the vent line. What size fuel line do you have?

    Tag-Along Aux Fuel Tank fuel pump or not

    Just a thought, you could try emptying your main tank, and with the bike up on the center stand, open the aux valve and set a timer. I ran a static test like this last week with my newly installed generic aux tank in the driveway, then took it out on the interstate to run the same test and...

    tank bag and back seat bag recommendations

    Is there a tank bag lock system that can attach to a whatever brand tank bag to a tank lock ring?

    Trailer Build - hopefully in improvement to my current one

    Too cool. I'm used to stuffing 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb sack. If I had a 10 lb sack I prolly wouldn't know what to do with it but the wife would, she'd find 20 lbs of crap to put in it! Cool looking build you have going on there.

    parts mix with hyway pegs

    That's why Hooterville got invented....

    parts mix with hyway pegs

    Yeah, but not everyone's a hooligan like you are :grin: I can appreciate the concern. I'm guessing you get to see some untoward results on a regular basis out there on those roads. It seems like maybe rotating that mcl bracket upward might narrow the field of interference a little bit.

    parts mix with hyway pegs

    The highway peg will fold back much like the main foot peg, yes? Seems like his main peg would be getting his attention well before the mounting bracket of his highway peg setup would. Maybe it's just the angle of the pic throwing me off, I'd be curious to see the results of the plywood test.

    STS Smart Turn System - installation

    Let me know if you pull the trigger on the order. Maybe we could double the order and split it? There seems to be some interest in this in the forum, maybe we could do a group buy.

    STS Smart Turn System - installation

    The dealer told me that, then a month later I ran into a St Louis regional Yamaha sales rep in Jasper Arkansas that told me the same thing. They seem to have their story well rehearsed. Fwiw, I agree with your take on it.

    STS Smart Turn System - installation

    Nice write up I was considering this unit back in March when I ordered my Gen III. Since the bike is still under warranty, I refuse to cut the harness in any manner. I mentioned the ST2 to the service manager at my dealer when picking up the bike and he said that the unit could be inserted into...
