From what I saw of the H&B rack, they were made just for their top cases, and they looked like they are tubular steel. I like the SW Motech streetrack because I've used them on my other bikes and I can bolt/strap anything to it that I choose. I have never used the H&B Easy Rack so I'm just...

No, the saddle bags do not touch the exhaust cans.

Here are a couple of shots of my Powerbronze Airflows windscreen. Works great and was only 70 quid!

I just installed the Hepco & Becker C-Bow mounts and side cases. I like how they look even without bags mounted. I also installed the SW-Motech Street Rack, and for now I'm using a Givi Monolock topcase. Has anyone else noticed the the right exhaust can is a few inches higher than the left...

It took 3 weeks as I chose the snail mail option (€9)

I just got this today in the mail. I was impatient for stock to be available in North America, so I ordered this €15 part from Brixamoto (Italy).

I used the kill switch to turn off the bike. I then turned the kill switch back to the on position and got the "low battery" starter response. I then turned the key off and on again, and tried starting again with the same result. I turned the key off to on again and tried starting a 3rd time...

Actually on my Gen 1 I replaced the thermostat/fan switch with one from a Honda Accord (I think??) which seemed to help. Also there was the 2nd fan mod which I never got around to doing. However if it's the starter motor cooking and expanding then there's little a new sensor will do.

I think your theory on the armature clearance sounds right on the money. The sound of the starter trying to crank the motor over made me cringe a little. Sounded like metal on metal. Plus, the ability to bump start the bike right away tells me the engine is just fine, and that it's probably a...

I ran into this problem yesterday after a 30 minute commute through the city (slow crawl 99% of the way), so the bike was quite hot (temp gauge was normal, but my legs were being cooked!). I went to park the bike on the street, so I normally turn it off first then back it in behind a car. I...

I'm looking to wire up a top case with additional signals and running/brake lights. Do I need to be concerned about CANBUS compatibility, or can I simply splice into the existing wiring harness? I will also be adding a 6 pin wiring harness for a trailer. All of the add ons will be LEDs with...

Yes, thanks. I got the 2022 service manual yesterday from this forum, but up until now I just used the numbers from the Gen 1 service manual.

This was taken in 2014. If you zoom in you'll see the connection at the rear axle. There's a steel rod that goes through the rear wheel hub with spacers that keep it from contacting the hub. Using the rear stand spools would be a VERY BAD idea! Those spools are only M8 bolts (I think) and...

I have used this same trailer on my Gen 1 for 10 years. I sold the Gen 1 and now have the Gen 3 and Juan at Third Wheel Trailers made me a new axle connector for the trailer. Trouble is that the stock cans are so large and low that there isn't enough clearance for the trailer arms to connect...

The Givi part number is BF67: https://www.carpimoto.com/en-ID/43033_BF67-Givi-Tanklock-BF67-Fuel-Tank-Bag-Flange.htm They also have a seat lock (S430) that attaches to your passenger seat if that option suits you: https://giviusa.com/products/s430-seatlock-for-tanklock-bags I'm waiting for...
