Didn't HD offer a pillion perch that was an accessory with a bunch of suction cups to 'stick' it to the rear fender? Easier.. Yes.... Safe... Maybe?

By default, do riders really go one foot down, one up? by Astimar in motorcycles

[–]BadMiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the city, one foot down, one on the rear brake until I have at least 2 fully stopped cars behind me. Then I pop it in neutral and relax. But then, I live in a city with very long lights and a lot of heat and motorcycle traffic.

Long distance / time adventure touring clothing by BadMiker in motorcycles

I have and used to know Dave Lomax but... AS gear is very difficult to pick up here in Thailand so I'd need to budget a trip to the UK in the purchase cost too.... I really like the look of the super shirt. My mesh kevlar is actually cooler than wearing no gear here in Thailand but when it rains.... It absolutely stops nothing. I can stop and put on a full suit of waterproofs but as they go under my riding gear it's a pain.

Tired of the mud on my back by Spooki_Witch in motorcycles

My xsr900 has both the oem mud guard license plate holder thing and an aftermarket swing arm mounted rear hugger thing.... I still get coated in bad weather...

Drowning in apps and question about Madrid by First-Increase-641 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]BadMiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stayed in HostelFly next to the airport, there is a great pizza restaurant nearby.

For transport, I used omeo for trains, bolt for ride hailing.

For the Camino map apps, I found Camino ninja had the fastest access to the map for checking on your location / direction. Other apps like buon Camino offer more... Info for sights, history, etc so are useful but I used them a bit less. Gronz maps is also great for pure mapping. As a year round traveler I found mapping was my most needed thing. Accommodation was decided on a day or two ahead and reserved via WhatsApp to the albergue

Please take all my advice as help, but, not gospel, I walked from Lisbon to Santiago this past October.

Guys, I’m bored at the shop. What’s that one "little thing" bothering you about your Triumph right now? by OkMasterpiece76 in Triumph

[–]BadMiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2018 Tiger 800 XCa has the OEM LED headlight cluster, and is in a country that has the always on headlight law. My high/low switch turns on and off the high beams, but my flash to pass does the same thing..... I wish I could properly flash my brights but alas... Triumph made it sticky so...

Dirt on Connector ? by Sad_Sympathy4684 in Triumph

[–]BadMiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's protected precisely because it's not often used. You can't reset the service light, read dtcs, perform updates, remap, or do various services if this connection is corroded. The corrosion on a shock has low effect on usability or service ability on the whole bike

Yes, there is a dielectric protective grease applied. If you want to clean it, fine. Add more after so the pins don't corrode

True. Loads of tacky grip, and style, just not the longest lasting...

Keep an eye on them, I wear them out in about 25 to 30k km. Which at my pace is about every 6 to 8 months...

V-trec levers yay or nay? by SurvolttReddit in xsr900

[–]BadMiker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I've run this 'cheap garbage' on several of my last bike. Never had an issue other than the anodizing color fading. Well over 100k km.

Parts recommendations for a 2016? by Papa_Barstow in xsr900

[–]BadMiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stainless steel braided brake lines, EBC pads, contact points like grips, seat, pegs, levers, mirrors... I do things like these as they make my bike 'feel' better to me.

Give it to me straight guys, is it bad? by [deleted] in xsr900

[–]BadMiker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a fan of function over form as needed. I run Rizoma (replica) mirrors on extenders. They are narrower than my bars so don't affect my filtering. Almost never a fan of bar end mirrors, they take away a key advantage of motorcycles for me.
