Mondo furrows/hills. What are you planting?


Oh yeah, great lookin' bike & bag outfit! Thank you for sharing.

Ordered the CL-850s, may try them on me Versys until I can mount them on the Yammie. Truly appreciate you photo of the straps under the seat rigging. Still debating racks and top case.

I noticed that those bags are on a closeout sale at denniskirk.com for $135/set.

Dunno really, it's very near my back yard. I'll ask the farmer next time I see him

You can find them for around $110

I would, but it's too much fun just to poke you guys' eyes out with every post

What make/model top case is that? Just what I'm looking for. And thanks for the info, plus the taunting, us yanks really appreciate it.

 

[TooTall]

Axio is the brand name, been to long, don't know more info I'm afraid...

I know, I'm just preparing myself to the onslaught once this bike is released over there, this forum is going to explode with farkels and group buys

Finally got the GIVI Adapter plate in.

Removing the OEM rear rack is easy as pie, so no pics of that. The GIVI rack is basically a plastic baseplate to mount the case, and 2 metal brackets that bolt onto the bike.

The plate is the ugliest piece of plastic I've ever seen. Very pretty, those bigass GIVI roundels )

And as you can see, it's open in the middle part

But finally I can mount my Trekker 46L box!

Room for the pillion

So there!

Do loaded top cases change the handling of a bike in any way?

 

[TooTall]

The more weight you add, the more it impacts handling

The more weight is high up instead of down low, the more it impacts handling.

When I did my trip to the French Alps I was loaded. Felt the difference quite dramatically in the beginning, especially at slow speeds. After a while you get used to it

Thanks TooTall. Being new back into motorcycling these are things to consider.

I was thinking about that Great Basin carrier but, don't know if it could hold a helmet.

Thanks for posting the pictures of the rack and the attached Trekker! Now I know what mine will look like when I get my SuperT to mount them on!!!

No problem. If I want to see what mine looks like I just have to go to the basement. Because I have the bike already. Since 2 months. Waiting time was 6 days.

Just so you know

Yeah yeah yeah!!! My wait is going to be about 10 months!!!! The good news is that I only have about 3 months to go.......

 

[TooTall]

Well, just remember, it could be worse.

It could be 11 months ^-^

Oh and btw, I'm taking the bike out tonight, ride to my parents, and install the new levers I got.

... O

But sitting at home reading the forum is nice too! :exclaim:

Ok I'll shutup now

If you're looking for the Nelson Rigg CL-850s and Amazon's price goes up, just keep checking back. I picked them up for $88 and free shipping a couple of weeks ago, after watching the price jump between $88 and $129 for a few weeks.

Good luck.
