    SUPER DUPER GLUE AND GORILLA TAPE

    So if you cant fix it with super glue and duct tape is it worth keeping? I decided I hated the stupid useless semi clear map arm pouch thingy on my Olympia ADV jacket. Sooo I cut it off! I accidentally sliced into the top layer of the double layer cordura leaving a 1/4" cut in my $300 jacket...

    LED Turn Signals & Cruise Control Retrofit Options

    I can live without the LED signals, and the 4 ways. What I really have a hard time living without is the high beam flasher trigger. I used it all the time to signal vehicles who looked as if they may not see me coming.

    Gauge cluster sun damage ?

    Re: She be melting You are talking about a simple but effective way to shade the bottom part of the windscreen to block sunlight from "focusing" onto the dash panel in front of the instruments. Is it the top of the windscreen focusing down or the bottom area focusing the sunlight in? I am...

    UK 100 best bikes owner survey puts the XT1200Z in its rightful place

    I agree, the Triumph is a fine bike, and has been throughout it's history. I was very much not surprised the BMW rated so low. What it came down to for me to buy the S10 as opposed to the Tiger was 1) Quality 2) Price 3) Standard equipment 4) Comfort and finally 5) I test rode a GS, Tiger...

    ANOTHER pannier topic..MM, TT or another brand?

    CHECKSWRECKS. What mounting rack are you using? TT, MM, SWMotech, Givi? Is it a balanced system, as in both sides are the same capacity? Or did you go with the 34L/37L? Look very similar to MM's but welded instead of riveted. What is your overall width across the back with your rack system?

    Nolan 104 or Shoei Neotec

    I don't skimp on gear that works versus doesn't for sake of $. I do however feel the price versus what you get in a Shuberth is not worth it. In my research I have found that the Shoei Neotec is just as good if not better of a helmet with a tad more weight than the Shuberth. I have decided on...

    Study on effectiveness of gear you wear

    When it comes to riding gear you DEFINATELY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.. I wear Dainese full hard jackets, pants and street boots when I am riding my sport bike. On the S10 off road/on road I wear my Olympia hard jacket, jeans or Duluth Fire Hose pants at a minimum and TCX Desert X boots. I never...

    TCX Infinity and X-Desert boots

    I have a pair of X Deserts as well. I love them. I originally tried the SIDI Adventures and found them to be way too stiff and narrow, just short of MX boots. I moved to the Discovery and found them to be just right on the support, protection and stiffness, but ran too narrow for my feet and...

    Nolan 104 or Shoei Neotec

    I own a AGV EVO helmet and love it, it is one of the lightest helmets on the market. However, I don't care for the external mounted sun visor, I assume it is removeable. The price is definitely right though at under $200. I will have to check into it more, THANKS Bruised.

    Anyone ever hear of Caberg helmets in Italy

    I found these while researching for modular helmets. www.caberg.it . Here is a youtube video of their modular ADV helmet. Looks pretty cool, I am researching getting one shipped in. Only problem is they are not DOT certified, only European. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbJSEsshOd8#t=41 .

    Nolan 104 or Shoei Neotec

    Is anyone sporting the Nolan 104 or Shoei Neotec Modular Helmet. I am considering moving to a modular and am looking for a middle of the road price wise. Can't afford a Shuberth for sure. I see Nolan as a step down from Shuberth and Shoei is always a good choice for affordable quality. I like...

    CORBIN Seats for S10

    Has anyone bought a Corbin Seat for their S10.. Likes, Dislikes, Opinions. I have a Corbin for my Triumph and it is AMAZING! A tad pricey, but very plush and supportive.

    Front grill

    As we used to say when I was still operational, "Skills to pay the bills!" .. If you can dream this up, can you develop a grill to cover the area between the skid plate up into the front motor mount area that bows out a tad to clear crash bars etc but still leaves room for 8" of front wheel...

    ANOTHER pannier topic..MM, TT or another brand?

    I have been spending weeks online researching and making Pro/Con lists for a set of panniers for my '13 S10. I have narrowed it down to a few choices and each has really good points which I have considered. Has anyone heard of or used Darr Panniers? I believe they are/were a German Company...

    2" ROX Elite Anti-vibe risers question

    Pretty much any other than specialty house product has something from China anymore. Is there a better US or European made product that is similar? I really want the anti-vibe on my handlebars with the 2" + rise for comfort and with the ROX I get both.
