I've traded my 2012 NC700X for a 2012 Burgman 400 scooter. My latest trip to Yellowstone (about 3000 miles) made me realize I was not enjoying the NC as much as I had in the past. Trying to get my leg over the tall seat was getting harder for me. The Burgman 400 is about the same weight as the...

Do you think this could be installed on Dale's rear seat rack with gas hole?

It looks like you have a shade on your GPS? Is that some thing you made yourself? It looks like it might help with the sun glare. I have a Zumo 660 and it's terrible in the sun. I stopped in Liberal on my trip West year before last. As I remember it, it was hot as blazes!

I have used the left foot on foot peg mount before and the only time I had a problem was when the foot peg was wet. My foot kept slipping off! I think I'll be perfecting the OCR method now.

I got mine at about 10K and I am at about 21K now. The front hardly shows any wear at all. The back is showing wear in the middle due to highway miles, but still has some life in it. I've been struggling with whether I need to change it before my 2K plus trip this summer.

I am in Windows 10. I find it to be OK, but I am with you, I don't like the update options (no controls on whether I update).

I'm 65 and I just stopped playing Warcraft and have picked up Star Wars the Old Republic again. I play much less when the weather is good for riding!

Here's my fix: I mounted a flat aluminum bar from the passenger foot peg to the rear Givi top bag mount bracket. by the way, the foot peg bracket takes an 8 mm bolt. Now all I need to do is get some larger zip ties to attach the bags to the rack. It will only keep the honest people honest, but...

I've been thinking about something like this using a flat metal bar. I just need to find the bar material. Now that the weather here in Kansas is warming up, I will be hitting this project more.

I've considered that, but every time I look for the parts, my local stores don't have one part or another. These bags are pretty stiff, so I'm not sure I need that much support anyway.

Well, I'm going to have to go with plan B. As I got into it, I realized that much more than 1/8" would have to come off the sides of the rack. The hand hold bars raise the bag connector piece quite a ways above the actual under seat area. I don't want to weaken the rack or make that much of a...

Those are them. The only issue I have with them is that one side had the zipper mangled, so I dared not use it. Not a big deal, as I can't see separating them anyway. All in all, they look like they will hold up well.

I picked up the grinder wheel from Walmart today. When I get a warm day again, I'll make the mod and post a picture. Thanks for all the tips. I was thinking the rack was steel which would have made the job much harder. StratTuner, your bags look very similar to what I have. It may have been...

Thanks Mike. After I posted this I wondered if that might work. StratTuner, I had thought of attaching the saddlebags to the rack with cable ties, but I like the idea that the bags will be at least a bit hard for someone to walk off. They are not locking, so I realize that I can't keep anything...

Question for the handy folks here. I have Dale's Rear Rack with fuel cutout. I have also acquired a nice set of saddlebags made from heavy leather. I was disappointed to find that I could not put the saddlebags under the rack as the leather is too thick and will not allow the rack to latch...

Coming from Colorado into Kansas, US 50 would be more interesting than I70. It would take you more South and since you are going toward Texas that's the way you want anyway. Dodge City is the major attraction on 50.

>>if you look behind the passenger peg mounts there are two threaded holes, I used the upper one. Do you recall what the bold size is for those holes?

My first motorcycle was a Honda CB200 in about 1977. It had issues and I didn't have the interest to repair it. I road it for several months and then sold it and did not get another. I did however keep my motorcycle endorsement. In 2012 I bought my CBR250R, so I guess that was 35 years. Now...

First time was in my garage. I was installing an accessory (can't remember what) and had gotten on the bike to check something. It needed adjusting and in my hurry to change it, I forgot to lower the side stand. Second time, I was exiting a gas station onto a side street. I had just started...
