Yes, I thought about that Corey. I am looking at a rotopax 1 gal can so it can lay flat. The bars that come extend from the back seat are pretty solid, and bolted on really well, so I think it can handle a gallon or so, which is about 6lbs. I am working on a metal plate inside the case to spread...
I stared by drilling and adding some u bolts to the top of the case to use as tie downs. I figure I'm going to have to strap a spare gas can down at some point.
I've got a big trip coming up soon, and was thinking how a top box would be really nice. I've got the Trax panniers, but not top box. Over on advrider, there seem to be a lot of guys using Pelican 1550's. Waterproof, practically indestructible, lockable, foam inserts. Question is how to mount...
yea, but for those of us that live in a hot climate, a "shorty" or "bikini" shield for summer would be a nice option. Just wondering how the buffeting is with this thing?
yes, for the rear, but factor in that front and it becomes an odd size combination. I am mixing tires at the moment, but I'd feel more comfortable using the same brand and same model. There can't be that many options, are there?
RTF is available at any auto parts store, wallmart, etc. It's great stuff - use to to seal the speedo sensor, etc. It's just like silicone sealant, but it is designed to handle higher temps (from what I understand - I'm far from an expert). So far, so good with the fix. Seems to be holding. I'll...
While we were in there, we went ahead and put RTF on all of the nipple ends. I don't know if this is going to help long term, but it certainly can't hurt. I suppose the real way to do it would be to RTF a rim strip in there and really seal it well, but I'll report back in a while and tell you...
OK, so I went up and saw Ian, and I think we have it fixed. Attached is a picture of the spoke nipple with the o-ring. As you can see, it had a little corrosion on it, which may or may not have caused the leak. As best as we could tell, there is no way to replace just the o-ring, so the whole...
I've got one on my rear, and it's leaking pretty badly. Guess I'll head over to the dealer and see if he has a fix for it. I'm a little concerned, I've got a big trip coming up in September, and where I'm going, there ain't no Guzzi dealers....
My rear is pretty much shot at 5500 miles. Mt dealer told me they have had good luck with a Perilli Angel on the back and the Sync on the front. Anybody tried this combo? I'm not big on mixing and matching, but I'm also not a big fan of the sync that came stock on it.
5500 miles os far and no such problems on mine. I'll be taking a 2K mile trip next week, so I'll let you know if anything like that happens. My gear box is outstanding! Other than a slightly hard clutch pull, it's a great shifting bike.
I was wondering where that thread went. I was up at Riders Hill yesterday and had Ian pull it up with his navigator. "52" is still showing as the current map, and he's had no word of new maps comming down the pike, althought he did say he might not know anything until the day they are released...
There is a thread over on wildguzzi where they are talking about a new fuel map. There seems to be some question as to weather or not this will apply to the older bikes or just the new version with the A8 motor. I'll be most interested, as my low range fueling is quite abrupt despite having the...
I am in the process of planning a trip for this fall that will entail some long stretches between fuel stops. I'll need a range of 200 - 220 miles. Care to make some suggestion as to the best way to carry extra fuel without modifying the bike itself? The 2 options I am looking at now are the...
I tried many of the suggestions on that norge thread to no avail. Took it in, they put a new rotor on and problem seems to be fixed. They did warranty it, and I was told they will up until the second (6K) service.
When I test rode the bike at Riders Hill, they had the original sync in front and an angel is the back. I thought it handled better than mine, which has the stock sync's front and back. I might try that route here shortly.
