    Extra gas storage options

    I don't h1ave a pic of my gas Rotopax on my bike. I have a pic of my water Rotopax but it is on top of the top box. This was before my Grand Canyon trip. It wound up where you are talking about. It pushed the dry bag for ward just enough to make the pillow in the perfect place for my back. I...

    Windshield support additions - DIY not vended

    Not sure, but I think just like the turn signals are made to "bend, not break", maybe so is the windshield made to move a little. Willow vs. oak type of thing.

    New Owner of a 2014 - Hopefully a Good Deal

    Way better deal than I got on my 2012 with 9,100 miles. Here's another smoking deal to put on that black thing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotopax-1-Gallon-Fuel-Pack-Gas-Jerry-Can-Spare-Fuel-Container-Off-Road-fits-Jeep-/121755407774?hash=item1c5930159e:g:Fs8AAOSw5dNWpIzj&vxp=mtr

    S10 Headlight Bulbs

    I live and commute 60 miles a day where there are lots of deer. I want to SEE! I had the problem of bulb placement the first time I replaced. An easy way to get it close is line up the bulb with the plug before putting it in. If you have to twist the plug, the bulb is in wrong.

    S10 Headlight Bulbs

    I have replaced 4 this year. The ones I got are the Sylvania SilverStar Ultra. I really like the output and color but they don't last long. I remember driving cars for years and years and never having a headlight go out. I guess motorcycles are different. Almost makes me want to get those leds -...

    Metal head light protectors

    I would rather have the solid protection of my cheap UK plastic guard. It seems to me the screen type could still allow a large enough object through that could break the WAY expensive head light glass. The one I bought is here-...

    Things to look for Used 2012 S10

    Hmmm, I thought they all rattled or in my case, vibrated. Mine was so bad I feared it was harming the engine. I am the guy that can read about a problem and all of a sudden , I have It! I fixed everything but the darned rattling engine. Rattling or no, the bike just keeps on going!

    Things to look for Used 2012 S10

    You didn't put the price down but I would definitely include in the price of the bike, the price of replacing the clutch basket with a 2014 clutch basket. The 2012 will have a chatter or vibration between 3,000 - 3,500 rpm. Best "upgrade" I did on my 2012. And, as said, the 2014 MCCT when you...

    Extra gas storage options

    I'm not a betting man , but if I were, I'd bet it wasn't a Rotopax. I've never heard of one leaking. Still, not taking away from what you said.

    channel crossing

    Only ferry I've been on in forty years was across the Red River (Louisiana) ...free. I can feel your pain though, an extra $350 would ruin my cheap a$$ vacations.

    Extra gas storage options

    I have a two gallon Rotopax I stand up in front of my top box. Strapped on with bungees, it doesn't take up much room. I never travel with another person but still have room for my 80L dry bag which is then close enough to provide some back rest. I would trade someone straight up for a 1 gl...

    25" Parabellum windscreen mod

    Hey guys, I got a 25" Parabellum off Ebay from the manufacturer. It had a couple small scratches during its "birth" and I got it about half price. Enough gloating, already. .... It is a great windshield but in the high position, it was too high. There was a problem though. If I lowered it...

    Fit manual switch to radiator fan

    As others have said, mine kicks on at 221F and off at 212F. Sometimes, in traffic, I wish I had a manual switch. But, it works as intended.
