Thanks for the report HS, I will be rereading this several times over the winter to remind myself how much I truly enjoyed this trip and to beat back the winter doldrums.

Having had the near identical crash in the spring that killed my 5th gen, I so know your pain. Having your front lock up with no warning is a very scary feeling, so glad that your gear worked as well as mine. Hope you can find another ride to come to the meet. Hope you feel better soon.

So far there have been several crashes of bikes with the sliders installed; from slow to very hard lay down, my own bike included. But like the majority of those that lay their bike down, they really don't want to take and post pics. I will tell you this though, nobody that has laid their bike down with the sliders installed have complained about having them on. I have had nothing but positive responses, but you also have to keep in mind that they are not designed as fairing protectors, they're frame protectors, and a darn good foot rest.

Not that I am aware of.

Glad you have a safe trip home,,, do tell about the hassles at the border bringing home a new toy. You sure pack lots for a solo ride straight home. PS i too like a nice rack. (kidding aside) Does the rack mount still if you have OEM cases on the 6th gen. The Ventura attaches to the grab handles, so yeah you could probably do both. I may consider the factory bags in the future but for now these Venturas can pack a lot of stuff, so until I need the room for a pillion I won't worry about, besides there is a lot of other farkles way ahead of bags. .

First a big thank-you to our fearless leader for meeting me at the dealership! Well I got in late last night (Wednesday), I decided to do the bum burner at about the half way mark coming from Hill City SD, so I ended up doing a 1100 km/ 700 mile day to get home, not a bright idea for my third dayof riding this season, boy I'm paying for it now, but I'm home safe. Spending the day with HS was a lot of fun, the pace was excellent, just the first few minutes in those first curves on a bike that I'd only been on for 10min was I anxious, and who wouldn't be, when it literately starts raining on the first curve, but the groove came on quick, there was to much fun to be had, I was giggling in my helmet soon after the rain stopped. So here is my new toy sitting in the Colorado hills, and I don't think she looks that bad with the Ventura bags. So other than being declared a bike snob by HS, can't imagine why he called me that, (weirdo New Yorker on crappy beat up hunk a crap Hardly, flip flop spindly leg babbling fool) I don't think I'm a snob, I just have good taste, IT WAS A GREAT TRIP.

Procedure is the exact same for both 5th gen and 6th gen and I supply a new bolt ready to go:fing02:

Canadian Tire has a surprisingly good selection of inexpensive tents, and of course Walley Mart

Yes, but I'm so far behind that I'm starting to be able to see my own a$$

I also bought a Sargent, and I'm in the same situation. I will definitely try some new shorts. Additionally, I have another thread going about Spencer's Seat Modifications......anyone have any experience with this company? 750 miles last Sunday on a Sargent seat, sports undershorts and shirt made it possible.

Sleemans on me Ken next time your hear, thank's for helping him out.
