    Adventure Designs

    I just purchased a Hellite tether from them and got it just fine. If you look at their website, they are available by phone and email only on Saturday and Sunday. It seems odd, but they did put it out there.

    Cold weather gauntlet gloves - what works?

    I have a pair of Klim Hardanger gloves (battery) and they do a nice job of keeping the top of my hands warm. I also have heated grips so the combination works well together.

    S10 as a touring bike?

    Thanks for all the responses. I think I am leaning to the S10. The fjr is really nice, but I think I would be happier with the S10.

    S10 as a touring bike?

    There is one used fjr at a dealer about an hour away. It sounds like both the S10 and an fjr would work. I hope the weather will warm up soon so maybe they will let me test ride the fjr. I did ride the S10 for a very short ride during a demo day. The windscreen was not adjusted properly and...

    S10 as a touring bike?

    I love all the responses. So far, an upgraded seat and windscreen sound like must haves. Any recommendations on panniers and top case? Givi, SW-Motech, other brand?

    S10 as a touring bike?

    Great looking bikes. I have never been a tech guy. I think ABS and TC is all I would want. All the other stuff just seems like something else that will fail and cost a lot to fix. What aftermarket windscreen is recommended? I know I would need to get the winglets.

    S10 as a touring bike?

    The price of a new Goldwing is a bit more than I want to spend and the weight is a concern as I am not getting any younger. What type of aftermarket seat so you have? Any issues with finding panniers or a top case? I thought I read that the aftermarket route s becoming more difficult for the S10.

    I am a new member in Michigan. I don't have an S10 yet, but am seriously interested in this bike. I hope to earn a lot from all the wisdom here. Thanks

    S10 as a touring bike?

    I would use street tires. I am not planning on any off road adventures. Maybe a dirt roads, if I needed to, but nothing major.

    S10 as a touring bike?

    Hello all, first time poster. I am looking at upgrading from a Versys 650 to do longer tours that may have a bit of travel on Interstates. I really want a shaft drive to avoid the chain maintenance. The big touring bikes seem much too heavy. I want something reliable with good dealer...
