Curious about the zip-ties on the spokes. I think it's the first time I've seen something like that. What purpose do they serve on a properly laced up wheel?

What brand of rack do you have to support the BC35's? I'm looking to get a set of paniers and love the look of these Moskos.

I'd estimate the 2017 ES should be $13k or so. 2 years ago I picked up a brand new 2015 ES for $12,500 near Pittsburgh, so two years later it would be the equivalent of picking up a '17 model (and as far as I know there haven't been any significant updates or improvements). I did purchase my...

Just ordered a silver E1 last night. The closeout helmets with graphics are sold out in the regular sizes (M, L, XL), but silver and graphite are still available in all sizes. Great deal: $400 for a $850 helmet!!! I was going to buy a Scorpion EXO-AT950, but for $100 more I got a $850 helmet...

Has anyone had any experience with buying soft saddle bags on Aliexpress? For $95.00 I'm tempted to give these a shot, especially with free shipping...

Thanks for all the replies! I'll check out some of the LED spot lights. Ian

Does anyone have any experience with this fog light kit: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-Tenere-XTZ1200-XTZ750-brackets/dp/B01LDE7SI8/ref=sr_1_71?ie=UTF8&qid=1520117651&sr=8-71&keywords=yamaha+super+tenere I'm tempted by the price, but have found next to nothing in the forums about Hella Micro DE...

Thanks for the reply. I had a 52L on my old V-Strom with the same brake light kit (I think). The K-Adventure case does not have any lenses like your case, they're a squared aluminium case. I'm after a brake light kit that would need to attach to the outside surface of the case.

Just ordered a Kappa K-Adventure 42lt top case (same as Givi Trekker Outback) for my '15 S10. I'm looking to add a brake light kit. I've searched a lot of sites and can only find light kits for "regular" top cases - not the squared adventure style cases. Can anyone point me in the right...

True, math was never my strong point!

I've been researching Kappa K-Adventure / Givi Trekker Outback cases and Motostorm has the best prices I have found. As the price on their site is based on the Euro the exchange rate can make the US Dollar price fluctuate. If the Dollar weakens against the Euro, the price in USD gets lower! A...

Looks like the SR371 mount is compatible with brake light kits, whereas the SRA2101 is not. Does anyone have experience of brake light kits and top cases?

Thanks for the replies. I'm looking to get either a Givi or Kappa top case, and just had that questions about the case mount fitment before ordering.

Quick question: Does the Givi SRA2101 top case mount fit a 2015 S10? All I've found online is that it fits gen 1 bikes. Did anything change with the gen 2 Tenere's for this top case mount not to fit my bike?

Can someone post a link to the OEM crash bars on RM-ATV? I'm looking to get a set of bars for my 2015 ES and would like to see what the OEM protection looks like. I've searched all the way through their website and don't see the crash bars.
