    Rear brake weirdness, no rear ABS, and ABS light on- 2013 w/70K miles.

    I would eliminate the ABS personally. You can bypass it and leave it all plugged in

    AltRider tail luggage rack storage ideas

    Possibly one of the small Apache cases would fit? Personally it zones like a great spot for stuffing some small dry bags that would fit in there.

    New owner from the Motor city (ish) checking in

    Welcome, I have lots of friends in/ from Detroit area and have done lots of exploring in the mitten but as you know the real gem is the UP. Welcome to the board and you’re don’t fall in the LOVE with the ST. The ST would be perfect to rip around the velodrome with how rough the surface has...

    Video of New Single-Wheel ADV Trailer - S10 Pulling It

    I’ve been following this closely. I signed up for beta testing and heavily considered it when the time came but I knew I was going to be spending time and money most of this riding season up to July building my bike and I would be able to do the testing any justice. For use it would mean a way...

    Engine died

    Lithium ion battery’s tend to have a lot of issues and I’ve seen them wreck charging systems, I’ve had better luck with lithium iron batteries but I’ve had the best luck with regular ol agm lead acid.

    Short Key for OEM Panniers.

    Well that makes sense because I had shad luggage on my old bike and they were similar as far as being flimsy and the locks were finicky. I ran them for 13k miles with no issues though but I also was riding strictly pavement.

    OEM luggage capacity

    I should mention it appears the person who owned the bike dropped it a time or two in the short 2k miles of ownership and they gave up motorcycles until I purchased it. I do believe this is what’s wrong with the side that is hard to open and possibly they tweaked the box as well. I purchased...

    OEM luggage capacity

    The top box does, the lid has a lot of space when latched so it can easily tip side to side and it sits to one direction making a good gap, probably about 3/16” it wasn’t very wet but it had water and it wasn’t very much rain. Last year we road 400 miles in the rain one day and not having 100%...

    OEM luggage capacity

    I really like both giant loop and Mosko moto stuff and when I buy new that’s what I’ll do. The wife isn’t sold on soft luggage so I was able to find all used tusk bags and moose racing racks for 225 bucks which is a steal and at that price worth her trying them out in a trip before we buy...

    OEM luggage capacity

    When I bought my super T I was convinced and determined to make the OEM luggage work for me but after only about 1500 miles of ownership this season the misses has shown concern with taking them across the country. The typical issues of tight locks accompanied by water leaks has me NERDing out...

    Short Key for OEM Panniers.

    I tried the graphite thing and 1 box still is very hard to open after having it apart several times. The other box doesn’t stay closed all the time and the top box isn’t water proof. Annoying

    They are by far the best bag but the entire theme of this bike is budget. Finding the balance between price and function. I have no doubt the Mosko and giant loop etc is excellent stuff but my main focus was buying this bike cash, and building it up to take me and the wife comfortably to glacier...

    The crash bars were for reference but they are happy trails brand for the super Tenere. I’ve got my eye on happy trails boxes and tusk soft luggage. As far as the cross bar I can make one. I was going to fabricate my own but these are 25 bucks which is cheaper than my time.

    Help identifying these racks by photo

    (they have been identified as moose racing. ) Hello, much like everyone I’m hunting for deals. I’ve found some interesting bits on eBay that I can’t ID. These are pannier racks and some sort of cargo rack box adapter. There are also happy trail engine guards but the rest doesn’t appear to be...
