    Do all Riding Jeans run really small???

    Klim K Fifty 1 jeans in 38x30 fit me great and I usually wear a Carhart loose 38x30 I too found many of the jeans too snug. Nothing until the Klim fit like the old Draggin' Jeans I used to wear. But, I really wanted armor, not just Kevlar and kept looking until I found the Klim. Sent...

    2018 Goldwing DCT

    NM4 works fine as a touring bike. But you do need to modify it. Panniers require some creative packing and should be used for specific items that you can compact. For example, in my right pannier, I carry the following: Rain jacket, rain pants, overmitts, spare gloves, tool kit, air pump...

    Handlebar button for garage door opener (DIY farkle)

    I use the power of Mo-Dor. Buried the transmitter on the bike and stuck the tiny push button in a useful, but not obvious location. Has worked flawlessly for nearly 2 years now with regular commuting. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    What's stopping you from getting an AT

    The NM4 is ideal for my riding. Don't need taller, more powerful, or more thirsty. Sent from a hacked Speak and Spell, augmented with an old phonograph rocking a saw blade, fork, and umbrella powered by a blowing tree limb.

    Polish shields ???

    I've used lens polish kits. As long as the haze isn't deep scratches, they buff out nicely. Just be sure to take your time, use plenty of lube to keep the pads clean, and follow the directions. Be sure to use the first step long enough to get rid of the deepest scratches. First time I did...

    Waterproof Neck Gaiter/Tube

    Use a Rukka gaiter in cold temps. Windblocker isn't waterproof, but it takes a lot to get moisture in. Is just the thing to seal the jacket/helmet gap. In summer I have several fabric 'snakes' filled with moisture beads. Picked them up at a town fair, but they work great. When dry, they store...

    MotoPumps Air Shot Portable Tire Air Compressor Review

    That looks like a nice alternative to the Cycle Pump for those who don't need bombproof. I wonder how long it would hold up for frequent use. sent from a Speak and Spell connected to a phonograph equipped with a saw blade, fork, and umbrella.

    Upside Down Photo Postings (but not from OZ)

    With iPhone, be sure to take landscape photos with the volume buttons down. This works. Why the other way does not is a bug.

    Which Battery Maintainer?

    Yes, lithium needs a special charger. Although it sounds like the earthX product has that all built in. I'd still be weary of the cold as that is the one place that lithium does not generally do well. Also, they generally die sooner when producing a light output like charging a phone, and...

    Which Battery Maintainer?

    You hook them up together only after each one is fully charged and passes the test. The instructions clearly explain the process. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

    Which Battery Maintainer?

    The programing for the AGM version is specific to that design. Yes, it will work better for AGM batteries, but it can not be used for wet cells. The standard isn't as optimal for AGM, but it can be used for just about all lead acid styles. If I recall correctly, the AGM version will bring AGM...

    Which Battery Maintainer?

    I use the BatteryMinder 2012 which charges, tests, floats, desulfates, and is temp compensated. You can also hook up several batteries for storage, so one unit is all you need.

    Which Battery Maintainer?

    Battery Minder model 2012. Not only does it keep a battery charged, but at 2amps, it can recharge fairly quickly. You can also parallel multiple batteries to keep several charged. Temp compensating to ensure proper charge regardless of the temperature. Best of all, it uses a pulse charge...

    Russell Day Long Seat for NC700

    I used a local shop (New England Trim) to redo my seat. Went in and talked about what I wanted, dropped the seat. Two days later picked up seat in "rough draft" form. Rode it to be sure the support and fit was right. Returned it for final finishing. They laid in a new 4 density foam...

    Cold? Not me!

    Heated gear is fantastic! Warm and Safe is my current gear. Used to have Gerbing, but had a dead panel and the latest Warm and Safe was thin enough to wear with my normal riding jacket and Klim jeans. Warm and Safe also has a great 2 channel heat controller that is wireless. I linked the...

    45 degrees-time for a windshield and handguards

    Warm and Safe jacket liner and gloves make a huge difference and when it gets really cold, add the pants liners. Prefer Warm and Safe over Gerbing. The liner is really thin and when off adds a wind barrier, but almost no insulation. Perfect for when you need it at some times and not at...
