My Panniers held up great (Happy Trails). Aside from a little paint rubbing off, there isn't any other damage. So, has anyone thought of a crash bar for the panniers? I have seen some on BMWs but not on a S10.
You got a web link for Ardox?I'm running a $80 pair of Princess Auto (Canadian version of Harbour Freight) plastic boxes, and they are likely tougher than the crash bars. Dropped the bike on them a lot, with no ill effects so far. Picture is the one I'm sending in for the Ardox saddle.View attachment 60582
Forget about some random woman at a bike show picking up a Sporty!
Check out Jocelin Snow on a R/GS!
I sent my deposit in late July, for a February build date...Hope you have another saddle,Terry is booked out to may.
I'll give you about 10-12 years and you'll start thinking about it... I got in over my head on some AZ loose rock inclines last spring. Two solo pickups in one trip. Quickly learned you have to get the wheels down hill.I'm 47 in fair shape. Bike has been on it side more than a few times. Both bikes 12 and a 16. I've never had a problem picking it up in various different situations. I don't even think about picking it up , if she takes a nap. Just pick it up
Best advice if you plan to ride off road. More fun too.[/QUOTE]or get a lighter bike
I just found that out. I have a 2018 voyager 900 lbs and it seems easier to pick up. I just dropped the tenere first time while exploring some backroad and was worried I would not be able to pick it upbecause the Tenere is so tall it’s a lot harder to pick up than that Harley.
and that’s on perfectly level pavement, if happens to be tipped over in a place that’s leaning even slightly downhill it gets a lot harder to pickup.
my Goldwing weighs a lot more than a Tenere but because of the much lower center of gravity it’s a lot easier to pickup .
So, I'm assuming all's well that ends well? Was it better/worse than you expected?. . . . I just dropped the tenere first time while exploring some backroad and was worried I would not be able to pick it up
