    Tire question - balancing

    I have used Dyna Beads.....worked great w/ vibration on my TKC80's. Just mounted a new rear TKC80 on rear & installed the Ride-On sealant/balancer.....no complaint yet.

    Puncture repair kit

    Look into a tire product called "Ride On". It is a tire sealant & balancer. My powersport guy recommended it so, going to give it a try. It has gotten good reviews. I will still take my Dyna Plug kit & pump with me as back up.

    Jesse Luggage Tighten up kit install?

    Hey Happy, haven't heard from you in a while. What problems are you having? Are you mounting Jesse racks & luggage? "Tighten up kit"????...... If they forgot to sent hardware, I'm sure a call to them would get you the parts you need. Are you installing racks? I just installed the racks & luggage...

    Jesse Luggage rack support bar

    The boxes & racks do seem very solid. But, was still curious about the advantage of a rear support bar & if anyone had gone to the next level to fabricate one. For what it was worth, I did pass the question, along with my total satisfaction to Jesse Luggage. I also let them a couple hardware...

    Jesse Luggage rack support bar

    Loving my new Jesse boxes (Odyssey 10") w/ racks. One difference I noticed.........my old Givi racks had a support bar that tied the right & left racks together @ the rear. ???? I don't know if its even worth the hassle or if its beneficial but, was just wondering if anyone has gone the step...

    Luggage tidy/organisier

    Visit your local Army/Navy surplus store..... they have all kinds of bags & pouches that are great to organize gear in. I picked up two of the EMT pouches (see Amazon site below-$20) several years ago that work out great for organizing tools & other small items. They have several compartments &...

    How to get this beast up on the center stand?

    After putting my KLR on its Happy Trails center stand, my Super T was shockingly easy. I was afraid the extra weight was going to be an issue. Loaded with gear can be a challenge.

    SHINKO 804/805 ready to go...

    My buddy just got a set for his BMW F800 GS. These things look "Crazy Knobby" but have gotten good reviews on mileage & ride quality. I'm waiting to see how they do on this years trip to Colorado before I switch out the TKC80's on my Super T. Curious to see what kind of mileage he gets out of...

    thought i was the only one: mindless signal check

    Too funny........ Same here. It would have been nice to have been equipped with auto canceling & maybe some hazards. I found myself double checking the switch all the time.

    Helinox Cot on Sale

    Another good one to look at is the Travel Chair cot for a fraction of the cost. It's proven itself to hold up well & and the customer service is awesome.

    Jesse Luggage Systems

    Good combination for utilization of hard & soft luggage. I agree, the soft bags would be good for the shorter/ lighter trips.

    Has anyone tried a Mictuning LED light bar?

    Got one on mine. My son has been running a larger one on his truck for 2 yrs with no problem (other than someone trying to steal it). Ordered the harness to go with it. Also, ordered a rigid waterproof switch from Amazon (the switch that comes with the harness is not waterproof). Modified a flat...
