It’s been fun... been a great 3 years with the bike but time to move on. Maybe an FJR or a BMW RT... maybe even a cruiser? We’ll see what the future brings. Thanks to everyone for the advice and conversation over the past 3 years. Be safe!

You see... I am an anti-lockxser. I don't believe in inlockuations. My bike has never been stolen, so why should I inlockxuate?

I have the Givi stuff... the FZ1111 arms and Givi E251 universal rack. The universal rack is a nice flat area to tie down stuff too... same idea, slightly cheaper but a different look than the SW Motech. One thing I like about the universal plate is that you can mount it forward or back a few...

Ditto, but I have the next generation model without the metal base so I connected mine to a cross bar I installed on the bracket Detailed here: Affordable Motorcycle GPS options - Looking for input

Don't discount the MadStad on price - if it is the right one for your needs and makes the ride more enjoyable then it should be the one you get. I have a MadStad. I also had the Givi. The Madstad is orderable in any height you need and is very adjustable. I think it is absolutely worth...

How did you connect them to the bike? Straight to battery or do you have a accessory outlet, etc?

Are there any frame sliders or guards that protect the rear of the bike, particularly the muffler? I am thinking of doing an advanced riding course and practicing my slow speed riding and want some extra protection. I currently have Givi engine bars on the front. This would be for very slow...

Mine has an official sticker inside the frunk with the odometer replacement notice and the previous mileage that must be added to the current one (Ontario, Canada - if that matters). I am pretty sure that the purchase paperwork/licencing/etc didn't have anything about that - just the total...

Thanks - i could't find any other threads... the words were too short of a search term. Mods, feel free to delete this useless thread.

Someone on one of the NC Facebook forums posted about replacing the rear shock with a shock for a old CBR F4i. No mods needed, direct replacement. Another user commented that they did it too. They are pretty cheap on Ebay and may be a relatively good mod for not too much money. Anyone...

I see that you have a MadStad and wanted to point out what I did to mount my phone... Info here: Affordable Motorcycle GPS options - Looking for input This gets the phone up off your handlebar and more into your line-of-sight. For my garage door opener I mounted a small button on my...

I always listen to music or audiobooks whether on the bike or in the car. I use a Sena 20s. Most of the time I use the built in speakers - they even work pretty well with my earplugs. For longer rides I have a use a set of in-ear earbuds that do a great job as earplugs and plug them into the...

Just get one of these...

Just curious... how do you plan to power your compressor? I carry one with me too and recently found out the the honda accessory outlet's fuse can't handle a compressor (not sure if this is true or not). So specifically for this (and as an always-on outlet option) I ended up buying one of...

I have an Alpinestars Cape Town Air Drystar. Got it for a great clearance price (~$160 CAD). It has a Drystar (same as Gore Tex) layer and a fleece warm layer. It's a great jacket, especially for the price I got it. It fits small, so order a size up. This one is discontinued. There is a...
