    Hollan Pannier US Sales

    [smg id=2814 type=preview align=center caption="2016 1127 13041700"]I ordered mine straight from holan and it definitely took a while to get them. Unfortunately though my racks didn't fit my bike and I had to cut and re position one tab on one side and two on the other. Didn't bother contacting...

    Heated grips.

    Re: 2014 Non ES Factory Heated Grips Not sure if this was the cause of your problem but Yamaha recommends lubricating the wires on the throttle grip regularly. Reason being is inside the housing the wire is coiled up and every time you twist the throttle it sort of pulls the wires. Some type...

    Holan Nomada pannier racks, no bueno!

    After waiting just over a month I finally got my Holan's panniers. The boxes are awesome, only flaw I noticed was a small wrinkle in the powder coat. The racks on the other hand. look good but don't fit worth a damn. The left side, 2 of the 3 points line up. The right rack is really bad. If I...

    Took a hard hit on my TT bars....and tank

    the super 10 fuel tank isn't that expensive actually. Looked it up on bikebandit.com it's around 380-450$ my R6 is over 600$. I may end up switching over to the altrider bars. Or modify the TT bars with more protection for the aggressive riding I do.

    Took a hard hit on my TT bars....and tank

    My buddy just got a drz400 so we went for a ride. Ended up on some tuff sections for the super 10. The tourtech bars took a beating on one of my get offs. My tank didn't fair to well the bars did well but I wonder if the altrider bars would have done a better job?

    Anyone have Tourtech crashbars? Anyone CRASHED with them?

    I might have, I can't exactly remember how I installed that specific bolt. If the nut is a locking type I don't use loctite. If I did use it. I only put a drop, hopefully I don't have any major difficulties if I ever remove it.

    Anyone have Tourtech crashbars? Anyone CRASHED with them?

    [smg id=2596 type=preview align=center caption="IMAG2578"]I have the TT bars and have gone down hard with them. on a dirt\snow road found some ice and the front wheel slid out before I could do anything. The bars bent enough to slightly rub battery cover panel. A couple tugs and it pulled away...

    Is my tire wear abnormal?

    I've upped the tire pressure to 36 and reduced the rebound and compression by one click. The tire is looking fairly worn now. But we shall see how it goes. I'll report back in a couple weeks.

    Is my tire wear abnormal?

    The tire is a TKC 70 from continental. It's actually an awesome tire by the way. My commute is mostly freeway. And I am also a bit aggressive rider. So it sounds like my tire isn't so bad. Good to know.

    Is my tire wear abnormal?

    The bike is a 2014 with over 31k miles. The fork seals recently started leaking than stopped. But I've had this cupping on my previous tire. The factory tire didn't seem this bad that I remember. I have adjusted the front rebound and compression setting but maybe only 3 clicks at most. I am a...

    Is my tire wear abnormal?

    Just wondering if you guys think you see anything weird about my front tire. It's a bit hard to tell from the pictures, I have these area's that are wearing a lot faster than the rest of the tire. I do a lot of freeway riding, about 80 miles a day. What do you think?
