What do you carry in Griz Country? I am afraid my 9mm would just piss them off even more than just being born Grizzly. I live in Griz Country and saw signs on recent adventures. I keep my bear spray handy.

I am not sure if you got a great deal or were ripped off. Either way Looks like a lot of work ahead of you. Not sure how they were built but knowing a little bit about cantilevered wood.... I would guess the wood goes the entire length or a large part of it. You need to have it secured far...

I too struggle with this conundrum, growing up in an NRA home loaded for bear, then losing all the guns in a fire at around 20 years old. I somehow managed to live in scary cities and be in scary neighborhoods, yet survive being unarmed. I am now again in my 50s a gun owner and a CCW owner...

All those jump starters are sketchy. When they work they are great, but their reliability and long term life are suspect. I have that same charger and can state it works flawlessly for me. I could say the same thing for my Antigravity x-10 or something like that up till about a year ago when...

Just to clarify this is not the plan here to "build our own lithium battery pack". Every bike battery pack is commercially made. Any battery we will be using to store the power during the day till the bike batteries can get charged will be a commercially made battery. Have you seen a DIY...

I am still learning the bike part of this. This shop has a retail component but is mostly in the bike rental business. Except for the new cargo bikes they are electrifying they have high end bikes with either Shimano or Bosch batteries. I am having them reach out to the manufacturers or...

This is not for public (renter) use this is for use in their shop only. I think you are right though it may require an inverter. When I went in to show my friends my home build solar charger I was explaining the components. I was explaining how the solar power goes from the Solar Panel to the...

I have a friend that owns a bike rental place. They have been given a grant to electrify their cargo bikes and to build a solar charging station for e-bike batteries. This includes the batteries from their rental fleet e-bikes which will be commercial type batteries. Because the grant is for...

Not nearly as elegant but I have 5 foot long slide out wooden boxes under my shelf i n the back of my truck. One size has a stove the other a space for a soft cooler. Will try to find you a photo.

Thanks for that I had seen their website but missed out on the individual components. These small relays look perfect.

I got to say your wiring setup looks great. But that is to be expected with how the rest of your camper looks. Never seen the relay block those may come in handy for what I want to do with my RV with lighting and alarms. But for the motorcycle things are so tight under the seat especially...

I have a few projects coming up requiring relays one for an alarm system for my Class C and another for my motorcycle. I ordered something called Relay kits from Amazon that included the relay and a socket with the wires ready to go. The problem is they are huge. No way I am going to fit it...

Whoops wrong subforum

My new ride. I have swapped out the tires for 17" wheels and it allows me to almost flat foot it. I got to figure out how to carry it and others on my RV now and also how to ride a motorcycle. Looking forward to the new addition to adventure. Also got my wife a CT110 Trail

Not only do you need to adjust your expectations on buying a new bike, you need to adjust expectations on buying used. In looking to buy a used DRZ, I was told to look for under $4k for a used bike. In months of searching I only saw very few at that price and they went in under a day.

I did not realize I was supposed to be paying myself. I have been getting ripped off for years.

Nevermind. I realize this topic has been well covered in this other thread. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/best-soft-shackles-made-in-the-usa.223502/

Any make their own soft shackles? I am a sailor, and have done some splicing including soft shackles and have all the fids and splicing accesories. I want to try to make some soft shackles to add to my recovery kit. I think the procedure would be the same but the loads and resulting rope...

I am now waffling between the CRF and a DR-Z, mostly because of the price gouging. My two closest shops have quoted me $7,500 and $6,500 for a $5,500 bike. By the time the suspension is brought up to snuff and the bike is outfitted, I am probably close to $8000+. On the other hand a CRF300L...

Just updating. I have decided D. All of the above. A motorcyle for me and e-bikes for both of us. I have decided to buy a motorcycle. My parents have tried to prevent it since I was 13 and now in my 50s both parents are gone, I only have to deal with my wife's disapproval, so have settled on...
