The triple-axis accelerometer should indeed make the eSystem a lot easier to install than other electronic oilers although I have my doubts about the accuray of determining distance/speed/accell. Also I think the controller that you would put somewhere on the dash is quite large. Also heard of one that returned his broken down eSystem as water had entered the controller but I suppose that is just a single incicdent and will be replaced under warranty.

Nice install guide, well documented :fing02: I am looking forward to hearing your verdict on what type of chain oiler you like best.

For the oil container I made a bracket out of some aluminum sheet and riveted that to the subframe rails. It seems a bit safer than using velcro as I don't want the container to come off and have oil spilled all over my rear tire. There is just enough room to remove the cap of the container and I use a oil can to top up the container without having to remove te container from behind the fairing. Easy :fing02:

In the summer I run a bit leaner (table 18) then what the PO comes standard with and it keeps the rollers and o-rings nice and clean. During the winter I run a bit richer: table 17 or 16. Table 16 results in a lot of fling off on the rear wheel and swingarm but that doesn't bother me much as during the winter months the bike gets quite dirty anyway.

Yeah, those classic scooters are beautiful.

Thanks for sharing the pictures Slammer :fing02:

So, did you allready start prepping the XR for next years event? :biggrin:

What a great collection. That Laverda is a familiar sight as on my way to the grocery store I pass a Laverda shop that is like a small museum by itself. My neighbour has one of the latest model Laverda that he uses mostly as a commuter bike during the summer. It looks and sounds awesome.

Wow, that must have been an amazing trip. Your buddy Greg prefers to travel as light as possible so it seems. Not only does he have half the storage space you have, but also he left one of the exhaustcans back home :biggrin:

Great write up and pics. Looks like a very good ride.

They seemed to care less about the cars and one Harley rider came through from the other side and rode past them with no problems.

Was he wearing one of those helmets with horns on top or did he maybe rely on his load pipes? :biggrin:

Here I can only ride those single tracks on my mountain bike, and although where I live it is mostly flat it still is a lot of fun. Very nice pics of some beautiful scenery :fing02:

And those marks on the trees are indeed most likely deer scraping the skin of their new antlers.

Looks like a great trip. I wish we had mountains like that over here within a couple hours riding distance. Is there snow on the mountaintops year round?

That is a sweet ride you (had) got there. Why did you get rid of the VFR?

Looks like a great road with some pretty views. I think best of all is that you had that road pretty much to yourselves.

I like the duo camera setup, makes it even more entertaining :thumbsup:
