For this site and all of the great info provided by great folks here. Finished up a) replacing the right turn signal harness (broken blue/yellow wire and generally badly deteriorated sheathing), b) new QDs, c) new battery. The video from "Sweatmark" was particularly helpful. And I did meet...

Nice job! Perfect for the computer….better looking than my Givi…but I like to put the helmet in the Givi.

To me it is all about having fun….regardless of the marque you ride. Good luck.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Well, I didn't listen to the advice here and snip those cable ties. Now I have to pay the price....right turn signal will work (or not) depending on how far I turn the bars. Any advice before I take the plunge and try to find an intermittent connection? Thanks, Buckeyebeemer PS---if you have an R115...

ron prior,

Did you take off the laminar lip and are running with the deflector?

Larry

That must be it...thanks!

Hello everyone! Anyone have info on this charger? I got this when I bought my used K1100RS and it has been fine up until now. The secondary side seems dead--it is probably not worth trying to repair but thought I would see if anyone has any ideas. I don't even know how old it is. Thanks for any lead...

CycleRob---man your mileage numbers with the 800 are awesome. I am seriously thinking of moving in that direction. I get about 45 or so MPG with the 50R. Maybe I need to clean out the stable a bit.

Well, was thinking of Michelin Pilot Road 3s for the 50R but might need a change in plan. Thanks for the info!

I am not sure what you were looking for in the Shad cases but the 46 liter was just fined. Have the 15 inch Mac Pro in a well padded case. The Mac was never truly happy travelling in the starboard sidecase...it ended up getting some damage. The topcase works great. Good luck.

Lovely, red is such a great color. Mine is black but I think red is best

Well, went with the Shad SH-45 with a cutting board mount. Turned out pretty nice and looks good with the system cases. The Shad seems like a well built case--the locking mechanism works well==my wife has a GIVI-look alike on her Yamaha Majesty and the Shad mechanism is better. Anyway, holds my lapt...

+1 on the big boxes--got mine at HD.

There has been lots of discussion on topcases lately (partially due to my queries :)). Re the 17 inch laptop this is going to be tricky. I carry a Mac 15" with a 2004 R1150R and have not been happy with carrying it in the side cases so am moving to a topcase. The sidecases are too small for a l...

Hey folks, Have read all the previous discussions on Whitney, GIVI, and the Coocase trunks. Looks like it boils down to Whitney=cheap but suspect and Coocase=$$ but high quality. Any changes or recommendations re what people would go with after they have had their trunks for awhile? I need 40+ liter...

I carry a 15 inch Macbook Pro and it has been rough on it. I have 40 mile commute (RT) and I can only carry the laptop in the starboard side case because of the size. I have been looking for a better sleeve/case for the laptop to protect it but I have really not found anything yet that protects it. ...

Well, the windshield is finally back on the 50R. Whew....now, just to recap for any other hapless souls out there. BTW, I thought I had the BMW speedster shield..I know it is a BMW shield but it may be something different. It does have the four separate brackets. 1. You do not need to remove the win...

Wow--congrats! Lovely bike. Enjoy it safely....you got a great deal!!!!
