A new purchase for me that may interest some of you. This is called a BIKE BARN, sold out of B.C. I made a "pad" out of paving stones we had elsewhere, and the Barn took about 2 hours to assemble. It is a drive-in-close-up structure, no fear of hot pipes, good for all seasons, weighed down by cinder blocks but you can permanently secure if you wish. There is a gif on the website of a pretty girl in shorts opening and closing it. http://www.thebikebarn.net/index.html

got it today. i wasnt really sure what i felt at first. i thought it might be larger (46L). i was concerned that my large, full-faced helmet, wouldnt fit. it didnt in the stock trunk. i had to force it closed. overall, i wanted to fit my helmet, save weight, and have lights. well, thats what i got. JUST that. the Bestem came with a universal mounting plate which worked perfectly, except, i had to use bolts that were about an inch shorter to clear the taillight lens. no biggie. i am a little disappointed in the wiring harness. its really fine gauge wire. and, the LED harness seems like an afterthought. but it works. wiring was straightforward, but, it did not come with directions...weird. it also came with an extra set of side panels in black, instead of this orangy-red, but, i kept the red ones on. obviously, i got this for more visability. my old trunk leaked, rattled like a can of bolts, and was cracked in several places, not to mention, it weighed 23lbs. the Bestem weighed in at 12lbs. thats what i wanted. so far, ive shaved off almost 60lbs off my ride! enjoy!

Getting ready to buy a new set of rubber. Thought about trying E3's to replace the Avon's. Has anyone actually weighed the front and rear separately? I'm concerned about overloading the rear with the E3's.
