    increasing visiblity / making bike wider to cars

    since getting my 16 ES I've been wanting to make it more visible, especially to oncoming traffic (avoiding that left turning car is high on my list).

    damn side stand..

    so, i'm not sure if i'm the only one dealing with this..... It seems to me that the side stand isn't angled enough? Twice now, stopping the side of the road the bike almost tipped off on me. i've noticed that unless i'm on a really flat surface, the bike doesnt feel very solid on the side...

    stock horn power draw?

    can anyone confirm the power draw on the stock horn on a 2016 ES? I have a PIAA 500hz horn that I never installed on my Strom that I want to connect. I'm assuming that if the draw of the PIAA (2.7amps) is the same or less than the stock then I don't need to replace/change the relay. thanks!

    charging cable?

    my (new) 2016 ES has a cable coming off the right side. it's a SAE connector. Vendor told me it's for using with a battery tender. should I assume that this feed is not fused and therefore should not be used to supply power to anything, in other words, only use it for charging?

    some new owner questions!

    picked up my 16 ES last week and in the process of doing my break in before a few long trips down the US. Coming off a 07 Vee, what a change. This is truly the machine I had been looking for ! I'm still getting used to the nervous throttle. Installing a laminar lip as pretty much eliminated...

    on the sideline, conflicted and not sure what to do

    hi, so i'm in the market for a new ride. My trustworthy 07 Vstrom has served me well, but it's time to look for something else. off the top: I tend to keep my bikes for a while I'd really like to find a bike that has less goddamn buffeting than the current older Strom. it's really down to...
