I love my RAM Quick Grip XL. Very sturdy. It mounts to a ball that you attach to the handlebar, then you buy a double socket arm to connect the two. You can get them any size you want, so a longer...

I am not an AGAT kind of person. Instead I wear what I feel is appropriate based on my own risk/comfort/convenience calculation on any given day. Please note that I an NOT a fair weather rider. I'll...

I'm so jealous! Living up here in Wisconsin makes it tough to realize motorcycle life goes on in the south in May.

If your town is big enough for an O'Reilly, then you must have a Walmart. They also sell Rotella, and typically are 20% cheaper on everything that they sell that O'Reilly also sells.

So I'm the only weird one that only uses a phone? I'll use a computer to preplan a trip, adding lots of markers to Google maps for campgrounds/hotels, waypoints, restaurants, breweries, etc., but...

I don't want it or need it, but I really love that you are offering it up on this forum for free. I'll do the same the next time I have some extra stuff.

An F800 rally would be awesome. There were only a handful at the national MOA rally and just as few at every local/state rally that I have been to.

Now I'm confused. Are you using the GPS power tap to switch on the relay for the PC-8? That is a very common use for it. In that case, everything should work fine, and the light circuit you added...

I have a set of auxiliary LED lights running through an external switch and through my PC-8. Never had a problem with it/them. I would guess that your problem is in the lights themselves, or wiring...

First off, if you're getting 71 mpg then the way you ride will not be affected by using lower octane gas in our bikes. They are designed to adjust things based on octane. You can see that both octane...

I'm planning my fist ever trip out west. My buddy who also rides lives in the Portland, OR area and has put together three, 3-day trips using his house as a home base in between trips. One up to the...

I love my Gerbing jacket liner. I agree about not just getting a vest. Arms and even neck are really helpful. I find that my shoulders get the coldest because they take the most wind. I would also...

My first bike was a 92" Yamaha Secca II (XJ600S) known as the Diversion in the rest of the world. I bought it in 99 and sold it in 01 to a friend of mine. It was a good first bike.

It required a...

In my 2 decades of commuting and road trips I have ridden tens of thousands of miles in the rain. That said, I don't enjoy it, nor do I intentionally do it. I will not ride to work if it's raining in...

It's been a few weeks, but I figured I'd share a short trip I enjoyed. I have a local friend fairly new to riding who bought an 07 F800ST. He and a friend of his went up to Road America for a track...

Last summer me and a buddy rode from Connecticut (I shipped it there) up through Maine, across New Brunswick, over through Nova Scotia onto the ferry up to channel port aux basques, Newfoundland. We...

I just threw one away last year when I switched to a shindengen. Sorry.

Royce, I completely agree. My ST won't keep up at idle with my heated gear going. I installed a volt meter which has been very helpful. I'm constantly turning down and switching off stuff while...

Richard and Andrew are both correct. The system will put out as much as it can based on rpm (speed of rotor around stator). The R/R converts it to DC and controls how much gets put into to system.

Well now you got me wanting an LED headlight. I could use another 30 watts in wintertime.

If you switch your halogen bulb to LED, you will need a resistor (most come as a unit with the bulb) which will use the same wattage as the original halogen so that you don't get a lamp error....
