I was in Death Valley back in August. I regret not getting that sign pic now.

Electric underwear my friend.

I regularly get 200ish miles per tank. Usually fill up when the gauge starts blinking. Longest I’ve gone was 236 miles on a tank going across Oregon. Filled up with 4.5 gallons after that. Edit: Thats in the summer. My mileage goes down in the colder weather.

Put the bike up? What’s with that? I did an easy 450 mile trip on Monday. Started out in the teens. Spent most of the day in the lower 30’s. Ended the evening at 28 when I pulled into the garage. All those temps are Fahrenheit. I don’t recognize that weird celsius stuff. Anyway. I use S100 or the blue Yamaha stuff. They both work amazingly well.

Yes. The rubber is removable/replaceable if you want to ride without it.

Well, mines not cracked but i'm a bit bummed out now. I thought i had come up with a super simple fix. I have never noticed the upper tubes.

Im pretty sure I used the all thread in the tube he shows that’s cracked. In the drawing, it’s the tube that runs through the bracket.

3/8

You’ll have to remove some of the body panels to get the all thread in. No big deal though. I even put some grease in the tube to help keep it from rusting from the inside out.

I wonder if sockets and socks go to the same place?

I got a 12” piece of stainless all-thread with two washers and nuts and ran it through the tube. I’ve been running a taller screen for a long time and have a GPS mounted up there. 80k miles and no signs of cracking.

For some reason I lose 8’s. My 10’s and 12’s stay put.

They’re noisy that way. I’m pushing 80k miles and my 2015 been noisy for as long as I can remember. Don’t concern yourself with it. If I could, would take off tomorrow on a 10k mile trip without a second thought.

What is it about the UK that's so hard on this part?

That sucks...
