Yes, that MyRoute WebApp thing is pretty decent. But strangely enough I've had a similar thing where the bike isn't on the route and the purple line isn't on the road. Just a direction to ride to the next waypoint. Maybe something else is causing it, it's just happened lately twice. Was always good ...

Thanks for that info about the Adidas bags, for those interested I looked at the video and found that they are called
Adidas Diablo Small Duffel. It seems like they may be discontinued (at least here in Australia), but they can be had online.

Another vote for Draggin, they're not perfect, but they seem to be one of the best and come in a variety of styles. I have a blue pair of Classic which are about 7 years old and the only issue is the zip not always wanting to stay fully up. I have a black pair of Twista, which are about 1 year old, ...

I finished a tool roll for my R1200RT LC. It's a copy of the Touratech B1 tool kit. I'm just waiting on the arrival of an E8 socket and a front axle tool.

I have one on my bike. It does seem a bit sharp at the back, but I have no concern about it. The spacers seem to be more needed with the larger bags. I have a Daypack and it clips on and off perfectly easily, but I have a larger bag (City) and it is much harder to get to clip on properly unless it's...

I've found the Metzeler Roadtec01 to feel better and last better than the Michelin PR4.

Do it brightly, with lustre.

...at present I can only pull the bike away from standstill at a slow pace and can only increase power once the clutch is fully engaged, anything more than a slow pace results in the quite violent hopping. That's definitely not right, I can get mine away quite smartly without any special effort of ...

Those sliced up Pilot Road tyres can be a bit squirmy, all the little blocks can move around and get hot. I think the newer designs such as the Metzeler Roadtec01 and Michelin Road 5 with large areas of rubber and rain grooves and using silica and so on for wet grip can be better overall in changeab...

The Z8 as pictured has no siping. Those are rain grooves.
Siping is the very thin cuts like you see on the Pilot Road series, esp. the PR3 front which has loads of sipes across the tyre width.

You don't need a video. Just follow the diagrams, it's reasonably straightforward. Basically you remove the grab rails and standard rack and insert the painted steel plates under the factory rack, then reassemble it with the supplied fasteners and spacers. My biggest gripe is that they supply allen ...

I have big hands too, and I found the grips on my 2014 LC uncomfortable. The diameter is too small. I fitted Grip Puppies and that solved my problem with discomfort. I find that I drag footpegs too often with the standard setup, I can't see how the bike would be very ridable or enjoyable with lowere...

When I had Metzeler Roadtrec01 tyres on my 2014 LC, I'd sometimes get a buzz sort of sound like I was riding on very fine corrugations, but I always thought it came from the front. Occasionally I might have felt a vibration in the footpegs. This varied with the surface (sealed) and only happened occ...
