Any rattles? Heard from a few with ADGU drawers that they aren’t totally quiet.

I bought the bracket from Slee, but a few others offer one as well. The compressor itself was bought way back in 2017 on eBay, it was the cheapest place. Added the manifold a few years later, they are nice even if you don't plan to add air lockers because they extend the distance from compressor...

I had two FJC's, a 2008 TT auto and a 2012 TT manual. Fun to build and wheel with but the blind spots and rear suicide doors were awful. I am in the "meh" crowd in regards to the barn door, it doesn't bother me but I am not a fan either. I could see something along the lines of a more modern FJC...

My ARB dual compressor has been in the 200 for nearly three years now and it was in our GX460 for two years prior to that and it spent a year and half in our 4Runner before the GX. They are extremely reliable, repairable, factory supported and honestly the best option on the market.

I sure hope it looks better than the renderings that magazine shows for the front-end. It looks like a poorly executed Chi-com knock-off.

Sabine National Forest, Texas Tiddler's Ride.

I considered a 1290 SAR but it's not my cup of tea. I have a buddy with one, just isn't what I am after, I'd grab another 890 ADV R before the 1290. The 500 is solely for BDR's and dual sport rides, nothing more. There will be another big bike coming to the fold next. I'm just now starting to...

@Todd n Natalie Still waiting on a headlight, ECU, exhaust and a few other bits and she'll be BDR ready for the fall.

A new 500 appeared over my bday weekend so it's got the 2023 bike slot haha. Next year for the big gal.

Next year haha. Sliders are next, possibly drawers by years end as well.

Well the morning started off great but then it quickly got awkward. The feet of the winch didn't line up with the holes in the winch tray on the bumper, at least not front to back. The measurements were correct but the holes were about 1/4" too far back in the tray. I got on the phone with the...

I started the install of the Dissent full replacement front bumper this afternoon. It took nearly two hours to get all of the factory plastics, hardware, clips etc. removed. I pressure washed everything off after the removal and I am pretty certain that I washed out 5 lbs of bugs, grass and...

This has been happening for a long time on other forums, most notably Gun forums where the sums of funds being sent for item is usually very high. I helped another member here avoid these idiots last week. Use the two-step verification to help lessen the odds of them being able to hack your...

The sargassum is bad this year.

I'd run the GSA as a solo setup without a pillion seat. If she's up for traveling with me then the Goldwing it is.

No way she'd ever ride herself, too timid, three left feet and afraid of her own shadow lol. It's 2UP or not at all and the latter is more likely sadly. Dissent front bumper and winch will be going on in the next few weeks, just gotta find some time to mess with it.

You did well, start mild, learn the ropes and get your feet wet and graduate bikes as your riding progresses. I've had large ADV bikes in the past, it's just time for a GSA for those long slab rides but if I can convince the misses to start riding with me I'll have to seriously consider a new...

Haha, at one time I had seven bikes so I am doing much better these days with just four and one of which is soon to be leaving for its new home. I sold the 450L in 2021 and the 890 in 2022, I will likely be adding a BMW GSA 1250 in the next year or so or possibly waiting for year two of the new...

Yea I sold the CRF 450L a while back. I've acquired three KTM's since then, 2021 890 Adventure R (sold), 2023 300 XCW and the 2023 500 EXC-F. This 500 is being built up pretty much solely for BDR trips.

Added a few mods to the new 500. Still quite a few more mods/accessories to go before she hits some BDR's later this year.
