Nightmares and Geezenstacks?

Yep, I agree, but it wouldn't be right to remain silent when a solution is at hand. It's been a while since I did business with them, but I recall them having a return policy-try it, if you don't like it, send it back. If you wanted to ride some distance behind something that (IMHO) looks good is super adjustable, and works, the Madstad is worth a try.

You guys just kill me! You ought to at least try a Madstad screen. I am 6'4" with a 32" inseam and on a Corbin saddle, which is taller than stock. None of that add on spoiler crap that looks like the afterthought it is. NO buffeting, even up to ridiculous speeds, and a nice bit of wind protection. And it doesn't look like a barn door. I ride the 22" dark tint model, for the past 4 years, and I've never looked back. Check out the reviews on the forum.

$192.95 US. and $44.95 for the tank ring mounting system. Also, a big plus with this bag is that it stands off of the paint.

Tank lock releases with a tug of a lanyard on the front of the bag. It is very inconspicuous. The only caution is to make sure it is snapped on to the front of the bag before you re-mount it after a fill up. And the bag might need a firm push to get it locked in place. As you can see, my bike is a '15, and this was the first farkle for it. I love it!

Will try th pics again....hopefully larger.http://i.imgur.com/CeLDrLp.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/WjJxUan.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/TtdUuOV.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/0MjuhUF.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/TqyH8mE.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/2B3RFgE.jpg, http://i.imgur.com/9y77ofp.jpg

Standing alone it might, but on the bike it is beauty. Will try to tag a pic of mine.

Don't know why you guys insist on putting the ugliest tank bag possible on your bike. This one follows the lines of the tank and has decent storage for daily necessities. Looks great, easy to pop off for fuel, and nice storage. Had one for the past 4 years, and no regrets at all. Be sure and use the 110 tank ring though.

Picky, picky.....I have an older one that has performed flawlessly. Never overheated and aired my rear tire up on the Dalton Highway in a driving rainstorm. I didn't care if it made noise or bounced around a bit just so long as it aired my tire up.....which it did. Couldn't be happier!

I put one of these in in '15, a few months after I bought the bike. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FIUJ0S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Have never experienced any trouble with it, and never had a charger on it. The bike has sat for up to 3 months without being started during the winter, and fired right up in spring. Less weight up high more room in the battery box are pluses.

Another brand you might try is Heidenau. They ought to be just about perfect for the Dalton Dirtway. Motorcycle Tires - Dual-Sport, Adventure, Sport-Touring | TwistedThrottle.com ... There is a tire mounting service on the outskirts of Fairbanks that you can co-ordinate with and schedule your tire swap.

Yep, I'm having trouble posting a "profile" pic. Seems all of my pics are 1+ mb, and the limit is .49 mb. The question remains "How do we shrink the photo to fit the .49 mb limit?"

Not quite in the same category, but the riders I know in Arkansas swear by these: The Hornet Deer Whistle - Electronic Deer Avoidance System WWW.XP3HORNET.COM The Hornet deer whistle electronic deer avoidance system by XP3 Corporation is the ultimate deterrent against costly and deadly...

I'm 6'4" with a 32" inseam, and I ride behind a 22" Madstad. Can't be beat! My FJ is set up as a sport-tourer, and I live in Oklahoma. It is quite windy here, and the Madstad navigate it all, including sidewinds. Performance is excellent as it does not completely block out the wind. You get enough to keep you cool on a hot summer day, and warm in the winter time.

Has anyone on the forum tried these? Nolan N100-5 Helmets with Custom Integrated Bluetooth or Corded Headsets WWW.JMCORP.COM

Just a wild ass guess, but I would say 4# per side for the SW Motechs.

Harraseeket, Do you have any pictures of the Yamaha touring screen on the bike. I'm 6'3' and really looking for a solution! Thanks Madstad is yer friend.....just sayin'.....

Went back to Ace Hardware and got a 90 degree bracket, 3/8s I believe by 2" and bolted it into the hole that the factory horn went to. Then, it slots right on in to the Sound bomb. Be sure you have the hose firmly attached before locating the horn. Here is my original post on this. Hope it helps. fj-09.org/thread/323/stebel-nautilus-air-horn The horns mount where the stock horn did, had to fabricate an L bracket (Hillman Corner Brace, 1 1/2", Ace Hardware) to hang them. Used the stock bolt that held the factory horn. I also ran some zip ties through them, just in case. The hose that comes with the kit was short about a foot to locate the compressor under the seat bridge. I also used the "plug-and-play" relay kit from Twisted. Couldn't be more pleased!

Like you (and others), I'm going to install the Denali Split. In mounting the horn, did you need to use any bracket? Or did it just mount up to the OEM horn location without the need of any bracket?

How many miles is 236?

You really ought to try a Madstad. I'm 6'4" with a 32" inseam and the Madstad 22" screen works a treat. Good sidewind performance with just enough air flow to be comfortable in both summer and winter. Plus, it is mondo adjustable.

What an excellent video! Thanks for posting!

Looks like basic salt and pepper rub on the chicken, but what did you stuff the jalapeno poppers with?

The trick is this - lay out on your bed everything you plan to take. Then discard half of it, and start again. Less is more, much, much more! (And my 21kg would be a lot less but for the fact that I'm carrying with me a foot-pump weighing about 2kg, given one of the primitive and extremely remote roads I'll be travelling, far from any call for help)! Best for August 2nd, kimmie - ooooh, only one more sleep! Ride safe and have a blast WS!
