You can orderthe seat pad to your nearest WM and prob dont have to take if you don't like. just a thought.
You could also try an AirHawk as a seat cushion. My buddy used one for a 1200 mile ride on his stock DR650 and said it made a big difference. http://theoldbloke.homestead.com/airhawk.html
Thanks spud!......I presume one will have to order an adapter for the right side?.....or do the mirrors come properly threaded if ordered correctly.....hence Yamaha?. TIA
You're welcome. Ken Sean sells a right side mirror for the Yamaha, so no adapter is needed. https://www.denniskirk.com/ken-sean/dual-sport-yamaha-right-mirror-970511.p391306.prd/391306.sku Spud
.....but not with my LSR bike. Got a call last night from that maniac, Kwizard. He pulled it off! Showed up out of the blue from Texas. The bike needs a few details attended to in order to pass Tech, but we'll be out there if anyone wants to get greasy.
I recently picked up this 1999 TW, I am having a great time with it.It is a lot of fun in the sand. I have one question. It is geared like a John Deere Gator, is this normal or do I have a larger than stock sprocket. I did not count the teeth but I will do that.
Stock gearing is 14/50 on U.S. models. First is very low and a lot of people who use them primarily on the street regear them. I suggest you rack up a boatload of miles under all conditions before making any decision to go taller. Takes some getting used to at first, but these things can handle a zillion rpm all day, every day. It's normal for them to sound like they're ready to hand grenade. Not much power there, and if you want an all-rounder you can't go wrong with the stock combo.
Hey all, I'm getting ready to load my T-dub onto the rear hitch carrier of my motorhome and head up to my buddy's ranch in Mendocino County. Anybody familiar with the area have any suggestions for some not-too-advanced trail riding in the area? Hoping my Clarke tank arrives before I leave. Homemade Bob
wifey wants a top box on her TW200. any recommendations for boxes? did you mount it directly to the "fender" or use a rack? any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I have a cycleracks rear rack that I mounted a model im2600 pelican case on it using 4 ubolts. It works excellent. A ton of room and it fits perfect. Lance
Zontar, I have the larger size off this box on my XT225. It works very well. On the XT it is mounted to a rack. http://m.jcwhitney.com/garage-pro-u...ycle-trunks/p2010970.jcwx?filterid=c14603u0j1
On Saturday I replaced the sprockets and chain on my '91 TW. All went well and she is running like a champ again. The countershaft sprocket was way past its' sell by date.
I concur. I really like my J.C. Whitney Travel Trunk. I installed the metal mounting plate for this travel trunk onto my luggage rack. Spud
I've used this daily for years on my work tw. works great, mounted right to the fender: http://www.powersportsplace.com/parts/emg-72-32440?seid=pspse1&gclid=CN-Kmt-6prcCFWbhQgodMREAHw
I have a bestem 929 on my scooter and it works good for the money. I wouldnt want to offroad with it but for road riding its great. It looks similiar to spuds box on the zong
I love my Cyclerack, but found it to be a little small for what I wanted to do :huh so I built a new one that is longer and flat with flat bars welded in with holes every inch to mount to, I think these would also make adding planners easier, and had it bed lined. I added a plate that will bolt to the rack and hold an extra fuel tank that can easily be removed, I also mounted my tool tubes and tail light/license plate to it.
Givi monolock E26 topcase on my TW. $64 shipped from Amazon. It's mounted to a factory rack. I put the rack in a hydraulic press to flatten the "lip" on the back of it so the Givi mounting plate to mounts flat. Has an led high brake light too. Works a treat and can be removed in about 10 seconds.
I'm rapidly approaching 56,000 miles on my Zong's odometer. The snow is receding up the mountains, so I decided to visit a local peak last week. Along the way I noticed I could capture 55,555.5 miles on the odometer, so I stopped to take a photograph. This time of the year, fallen trees can block the trails until local people claim the timber for firewood. I needed to turn back and take another trail when I encountered these obstacles. Ascending another trail, I reached the ridge line and enjoyed the views. I'm pleased to report my Zong is running better than ever! It's a great little motorcycle. Spud
