New Panniers installed Holan Nomada Pro. The frames fit was 99%, had to drill out the bolt holes one size larger for just enough wiggle room to get the bolts started (hand rail bolts).

The left side was under water (and exhaust), the top of the tank and ages were out of the water.

Was on a ride last week, tipped over on a big water hole crossing. Turned the key and the battery was dead. Made sense, my battery was marginal and the fan was running without stop in some warm weather and probably not charging...it also failed two weeks ago at a restaurant, left my heated...

here is the one I made.

had mine cut in the middle and a half inch removed and welded back up with a added piece inside for strength. half in was the right amount to remove.

New set of E07 Dakar tires Some posts said the tires were noisier than stock. Put about 125 miles on and the difference from stock isn't worth mentioning. Haven't been off road solo, they worked fine two up on 50 miles of fire roads today.

got the material on their EBay site, cut my own.

I have a 2013 also and arrived at the purchase because of many of the same reasons you did. My last bike was a 2007 Road King. If over the border in the U.P. give me a shout. I'm in Marquette.

I cut my own with shape I thought best fit the lines on the tank.

Why does the Dakar have the yellow strips?

H58 used to be unpaved and really ruff. Over the years it was improved and graded and finally about 4 years ago paved thru the Pictured Rocks National Park. One of the best roads in the U.P. It's 200 miles round trip from Marquette to Grand Marais. If you are coming from the east, go north...

Marquette. If you're headed this way, let me know, nice combination of back roads and forest roads here in the U.P.

added some tank pads, made my own, didn't like the shape of the pre-cut ones available.

I don't think so.

when the number of days you have for a trip is a fixed number of days, you just can't see everything. I will take the interstate to get to a particular location then start exploring the back roads. I will take 2 lanes to go around metro areas. 4 lane divided highways are also good to make...

finished my home made luggage rack; $45 in material plus another $20 in miscellaneous; a nice savings over others around $200 or more. Top plate is 14x12 3/16 aluminum on top of a 9x8 under base bracket of 1/4 aluminum for strength.

This question has been posted on every forum for every motorcycle, snowmobile, ATV, snowblower, weed wicker, lawnmower I have ever owned. I don't get all the hand ringing about if (in this case the S10) some part on this bike is going to fail. Of course parts will fail, it is only a machine...

I'm 5'6" about 165 lb. I have a lowering link and got an inch in the back; slid the front forks up about 1/2 in and removed foam from the stock seat (always in the low position). I think I'm down to about a 31 inch seat height. Not problem now. Last year was the first year I had the bike after...
