Ok, I posted this a while back, so I will reduce the crash bars to $250. plus shipping. If you're interested PM me.

I recently traded in my 2015 S-10, and in the process stripped the bike of the add ons. the shop was not going to give me anything for the parts and therefore I am offering the last two items on the forum. I have the Alt Rider crash bar system (I think that I have the instructions too) for...

Sorry to say I traded the S10 in exchange for the new 2018 triumph Tiger 1200. The s-10 was a good bike, but just didn't grab me. After 30,000 miles, I decided to go in another direction. I will posting a Alt rider crash bar and a set of Givi Trekker Outback mounts in the sales area, later. been...

Re: Quality time in the garage during hibernation. I took two flat pieces of steel and mounted them to the front crash mount and then added folding footpads. works like a charm.

I looked at the Lone Rider and said "neat", then i looked at the price, OUCH. I think Ill stick to my hard bags. ::021::

watch the lower mounts, they work loose. i locktighed mine.

Has anyone rode the "2" from Seattle to Michigan. Thinking about doing a run this June from California to Seattle (395 why) then follow the "2" east. Just looking for some experience with this road. Thanks. ::021::

There is a few of us in southern California. Maybe everyone moved out when they raised the registration fees? ::021::

greetings, you beat me, i started in 1969. ::021::

Re: Increased ride height thru take rear shock Most of the riders here, including myself, have gone to a heavier rate spring. look through the forum, there are several conversations about it. ::021::

HE IS RIGHT ABOUT THE RAIN, AND THE TRAFFIC ON THE 1 WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS. RECOMMEND THE LOST HIGHWAY OUTSIDE OF GARBORVILLE, IT ADD A FEW MILES BUT WORTH IT, AS YOU RIDE THROUGH THE REDWOOD TREES. DO NOT STAY IN GARBORVILLE, IT IS A PIT. THIEVES AND DOPERS ABOUND. ::021:: ::021::

I was a Suzuki mechanic in the late 70's, when they started using shims for valve adjustment. You used a tool to push the bucket down and pulled the shim out with a magnet or a pair of tweezers. none of this cam out and retiming nonsense. So much for new technology. ::021:: ::021:: ::021:: ::021::

I had a 2013 Triumph Trophy Se, just before the S10. Loved the motor, but did not like the cost of maintaining it. Did most of the work myself, but still valve adjustments were a pain. And just like my 1969 Bonny, the electrical system wasn't the greatest. But I like the 2018 Tiger looks and the...

Anyone going to Long Beach M/C show. I thinks its this Saturday and Sunday. I am going on Sunday. ::021:: ::021:: ::021::

I live here in the empire of California and I have five vehicles that have to be registered, my wallet is in great pain. I hate this place, can not get the wife to move. Maybe they will start taxing quilting and we will be out of here in a heartbeat. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad...
