  1. I just installed the Hopnel/Show Chrome rack on mine from Fortnine. Used tape on the lid, measured 3 times and drilled. So far so good. I also ordered the bag from Fortnine for longer trips with the wife. Need the extra room to pack her gear. Keep the bag under 10lbs and no troubles so far.
  2. Unfortunately this trip has been postponed to 2018
  3. I've read the other posts on here about this ride. This has been a bucket list trip for me and most of the planning is done. Now that I'm on a touring bike, the wife loves to ride and is excited to come along. She can't do the full long trip or long days on the bike, so we have broken the PCH into several shorter days and she will fly into Portland and fly back from San Fran. This gives me several days to tour back on any road that interests me. Day 1: Edmonton to Cranbrook BC (May 29, 2017) Day 2: Cranbrook to Kennewick Wa Day 3: Pick up wife at Portland airport, drive to Astoria and stay in Seaside, OR Day 4: Seaside OR to Coos Bay OR Day 5: Coos Bay to Eureka CA Day 6: Eureka to San Rafeal CA. Day 7: Ride around San Fran, enjoy a beach. Day 8: Drop wife of at San Fran Airport and head to Reno via west side Lake Tahoe. Day 9/10/11: Still planning this leg home, stopping in Kelowna BC before heading back to Edmonton. Hopefully the sun shines on us, and the traffic is lighter in June! I will post pics of the trip as we go. Lots of great ideas already for sightseeing if the weather holds up. If you have any suggestions, we would like to hear them.
  4. Yamaha rep at Edmonton Motorcycle show claimed a new touring bike announcement June 2017. Maybe for 2018 model year??? Or 2024??
  5. I'm looking at installing a relay for auxiliary lighting on my 2009 RSV. The previous owner installed some red LED strips under the fuel tank without a fuse. I would like to add a switch/fuse for all auxiliary lighting with a relay. Searched and found a few threads, but any with pictures are missing the pics. If you have any good pictures of your relay install and mounting, I would appreciate seeing them. Thanks
  6. I've started planning next years trip from Edmonton to San Fran. It will be the PCH from Astoria OR to Stinson Beach CA. Departure early June 2017.
  7. Only got a few rides before the snow set in. Very good at getting the wind off the legs. Also changed how the wind flows around my baggershield. Less back pressure, turbulence and wind noise. So far two thumbs up for the product and the seller!!!
