    2013 ST For Sale

    This is the second scooter I've had the Caribou's on. I'm a big fan of them. Very durable and weatherproof. Latching mechanism is firm and trouble free.

    2013 ST For Sale

    Selling my very clean Tenere. 16,300 miles. Excellent shape with all maintenance records. Not a lot of extras; Alt Rider skid plate, 2" Rox, Caribou bags, CalSci windshield, Airhawk DS seat cushion. It has never been down and always kept inside. The tank bag is sun faded but fully functional...

    Yamaha Tank Bag???

    Got mine second hand but it's in new condition. It didn't come with any documentation. Anyone know what the two small zippers inside on the "floor" are for?

    Wyoming Trip Planning

    Hey Gunner, Benchmark Maps make EXCELLENT off-road maps for the State -I'd assume for other states as well. I use their WY Road and Recreation Atlas ISBN 10: 0-929591-96-8. The roads and mileages are remarkably accurate. Make sure you have a good fuel management plan in place. It can be quite a...

    Pannier Air Flow

    I suppose that when every reasonable effort to reduce the drag is in effect then any subsequent change will certainly demonstrate the "p.o.d.r.". Got the Pelicans mounted last Monday and the weather gods allowed it to be ridden yesterday. I was messin' around with my clutch hand to feel where...

    Radar detector

    Hey Kiwi, could you post some pics of your mounting? I'm "KLR" cheap (got a blue '09 model!) and don't really want to spring for a Madstad - have NO buffeting problems with the OEM windshield. Just haven't figured out where to mount the Passport.

    Radar detector

    Been using the H.A.R.D. setup for years - back to the '03 VTX 1800 day. In combination with the Passport X85 8500, I have no idea of how much loot I've saved in tickets that haven't been written! As with many subjects, this one can be over-analyzed. All I know is the thing works great for me and...

    Pannier Air Flow

    Hell, I could attach the tell-tales all over it and just park it on the street. Let the WY wind serve as the wind tunnels! Caribou's for the ST will be here on Monday so we'll see how they change the riding characteristics. Have a set on the KLR, but the aero comparisons are apples and oranges...

    Pannier Air Flow

    As long as you're "waving your hands" with ALL 5 FINGERS, I'm listening! My Masters in Telecommunications does NOTHING to help me understand fluid dynamics (so I defer to your knowledge), but my pilot license made me aware of parasitic drag and such as that. The trailing edge airfoil is...

    Pannier Air Flow

    Anyone heard of any modifications to the leading edge of the panniers to reduce the airflow smacking into the "square" box? I wonder if a sloped triangle "airfoil" would help reduce the drag? There's also a number of companies who are making tabs that reduce the trailing edge aerodynamic drag...
