    Greetings from Racer 412

    Finally found a slim saddlebag set, I like 'em. Sunny and 60F here in beautiful Colorado :) Anyone know why my pictures are getting cut off on the right side?

    Anybody need a rear seat platform

    Hey guys, Now that I am out of the Stelvio fold, I have some stuff laying around the garage that needs to get out of here. Back in the day I did an Iron Butt ride and added an auxiliary tank for fun. I made up a plate that replaced the rear seat, latching on to the stock seat mounts and...

    Onboard Fluids and Farkles

    New camera, stunning day for a lunch ride. Figured I'd share a couple of customizations made this winter. I wanted a place for a water bottle and came across this: http://www.wolfmanluggage.com/Accessories/bottle_holster.html Top notch construction, I even went and bought a second, so I...

    Any electrical boffins want to set me straight?

    So, after a soggy day commuting to a customer about 120 miles south, I got within 4 miles of home and the Stelvio shuts off. One moment, 70 mph, cruising, and the next nothing. No lights, no dash, no motor. I was barely able to dash across the right lane and on to the side of the road. Bike...

    Perfect Helmet Maybe?

    Italian style headgear to match my Italian style ride. A little bit over the top, functionally suited for all types of riding - kinda like a Stelvio. Perfect.

    Center stand bent

    Anybody else had trouble with their center stand? The leverage bar on mine is bent just a tad. Still works but now the stand can't rotate fully down as the leverage bar hits the ground before the 2 feet are fully flat.

    Reworked saddle

    I got caught by the Bill Mayer Saddles guy at the national meet and ending up sending him my Stelvio saddle to be reworked - altered shape using fancy foam core and new cover. After a 700 mile day and some serious pain points, we talked about reshaping it to fit my rather substantial posterior...

    Tool tube

    While waiting for my seat to come back from the saddle guy, I whipped up a tool tube to fill the space on the right side of the pannier racks. I usually carry a small batch of tools for myself and others, and I wanted to be able to ditch the bags and still have my tools handy. I used a...

    8 gallons, no waiting

    Preparing for our 1000 miles/24 hours ride next month, figured I might just benefit from an extra 4 gallons and in-flight refueling :)

    Plug Wiring Short

    I'm pretty sure this was covered by some of you pioneers, but I couldn't find the thread. I picked up my bike from its first service, and it was a lovely 60 deg F day so I hit some of the fun parts shops, generally just taking the long way home. After stopping for about 20 minutes at Moto...

    Yea! I'm one of the guys! Dead Stelvio!

    Well, it's not really all that traumatic, and she didn't die on me, but she is in fact all in pieces in the shop. I took her in for a first service right at 1000 miles. The tech found that when the gas cap was open and the power on, a tiny jet of fuel was spewing up and out. He had to pull...

    Santa brought me a GPS

    Just wanted to add a happy, no-failures thread. :laugh: Rather surprisingly, Santa brought me a Garmin nuvi 500 GPS. Not motorcycle dedicated but a good switch hitter for both car and bike. I used a RAM mount and a fabricated bracket at the bottom. Initial ride gives two thumbs up. 3...
