Can you comment on the size of the cover when folded/off the bike. I've been looking to get this cover but I want to be able to take it with me on the bike. They offer an ultralite version but it looks flimsy. For example how much room would the cover take if put into one of your givi sidecases?

Yes, there's an old pan underneath. I'm not sure it would be necessary if the ground were dry and hard but right now it's really soft.

Awesome, great video! Looks so sketchy but it works, that's the beauty of physics! :rockon:

I'm tying to both passenger rails, they are quite strong. I am aware of the suspension angle potentially increasing the load on the bike, which is why I've opted to have it basically as low as possible without touching the ground. Additionally, having the tree anchor point a little higher helps...

So in preparation for my big trip this spring, I bought a Hennessy Hammock and managed to find a post on ADVRider about only needing 1 proper anchoring point + your motorcycle to be able to setup camp. Well I'm pleased to say it's totally possible! Simply align your bike slightly off axis...

As long as the tank was vertical, gas just kept pouring out. The tank was to the brim with fuel so it sounds like from what others are saying, that its normal since the tank cap will be submerged.

I have to say, after trying my own install, I am amazed at your custom aluminum work. I jimmy-rigged mine with a couple steel elbow plates, using whatever screws I had lying around. Doesn't look nearly as nice but it works. Thanks for the tip about height, it fits right under the black fairing...

Well, it seems no one is alarmed except for me, so I guess I'll just roll with it and trust you guys! I do swear that I filled it before, because I rode to the gas station with the bike. Either it didn't leak for whatever reason, or I'm slowly losing it! :cheer: Thanks for the helpful pic...

This did not happen in the fall when I put the bike away. The tank was also full then and nothing came out. It feels silly that you should have to clamp the hose everytime you flip the tank up. I was under the impression that this alone should not cause fuel to discharge.

I just took my bike out of storage today, it has been sitting in a barn all winter. I winterized it properly in the fall, the tank was full of stabilized gas. I went to flip the tank vertically to put the battery back in and a lot of gas started leaking out one of the overflow hoses on to...

Yup, if my love of riding weren't as strong, I would definitely not be spending my student budget on this ****. Damn statisticians and their ''numbers''.

I have been licensed since October 2012. I ran a couple scenarios through the TD quoter. If I increase my age by a year it drops 300$, and if I say I've been licensed since Oct 2011, it drops another 200$. So its probably just a time thing. I don't have any other insurance with them so I also...

I pay $2080/yr with TD. That is by the far the cheapest I have found so far. Most companies are over 3000$. I'm also being told by some that the FZ6 is on their prohibited list.. I have a hard time believing that it belongs on that list with the R6s and the CBRs. I'm 22, clean driving record.

I hear ya, Kingston, ON here, not too far away. March 11th really had my hopes up, March 12th they were crushed. It's looking like it could be until mid-april. :rant::shakehead:

Does anyone have any experience with preventative puncture sealant such as this product: Genuine Ultraseal GB, Ultraseal UK, puncture, punctures, prevention, tyres, tyre, motorbike, tyre sealant, Ultraseal, Ultra Seal GB, Ultraseal USA - Tyre Conditioner. It seems pretty effective and am just...

I really want to see these pics now but they don't seem to be there anymore!

I only became the owner in September and haven't spoken to anyone at a stop light, but the previous owner is from belleville and was often in Kingston so maybe it was him! I do currently plan on traveling alone, but wouldn't be opposed to have company to Calgary at least. Thanks a lot for the...

I'm planning on doing a cross country trip from Eastern Ontario to Washington State and back. It will total 9000km and I have never done anything this long before. I read some tips in another thread about customizations for the bike that would be helpful, but I would also like to hear from...
