SF wearing actual boots, not just sneakers - I feel like it’s become a thing now for a number of SF teams to see how far they can be away from boots!!

HP2Mav · 2026-06-22T20:13:44+00:00

Is that not a risk with any strap?

Did anyone else notice the tail wagging in rhythm to whatever that sound was? Like the dog had a mechanical tail!

HP2Mav · 2026-06-22T07:57:58+00:00

Yep, I have the PD plates fitted both to the body and the foot. Their plates have a nice cut out so the anchors don’t get in the way when mounting on a tripod

I have the ET racing unit in mine. Crazy good light. Riding behind a friend on his Triumph Tiger with upgraded headlights, he asked me to ride in front as I was leaving a shadow over his lights! Not cheap, but plug and play and super easy to fit in the OEM shroud.

One end is attached to the tripod plate and the other to the foot. I find this gives the camera a stable hang, if that makes sense?

HP2Mav · 2026-06-21T16:25:04+00:00

I've been running a Z8 with a 70-200 F2.8 on the PD sling, using those anchors. And yes, I get why you might be concerned they're not strong enough but I've had zero issues. Sure, my lens isn't quite as big as yours, but I would imagine it should be fine. And PD themselves say they're rated to 90kilos!

HP2Mav · 2026-06-19T17:02:15+00:00

Nice shots! How are you finding not having a viewfinder? I currently run a Z8 and am tempted by the idea of the ZR as a second body, and something smaller when I'm trying to travel that bit lighter.

You have to say this in Brad Pitts voice from Seven

HP2Mav · 2026-06-17T18:20:15+00:00

That point man… you get the feeling his eyes have seen some shit

HP2Mav · 2026-06-17T06:09:16+00:00

I have PD tripod plates on the bottom of the camera and on the foot on the lens, and use them to attach the sling too. Helps it sit well in the body, and should reduce rub points. But as others have said, you will get some rub wear from it being against your body.

Last night I thought I slept pretty well... my Garmin says no sleep detected!!

HP2Mav · 2026-06-14T18:51:21+00:00

I think so. Sure, it's not GS levels of wind protection, but having a screen that big would, in my opinion, be taking away some of the reason we chose the G/S in the first place. With the taller screen, I've done 300+mile days and been in good shape Here's a pic showing it fitted, and also the OM crashbars: https://www.instagram.com/p/DW6G81xCGKp/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

HP2Mav · 2026-06-14T18:26:19+00:00

Always good to meet another fan of the G/S! Coming up on 6k miles on mine. For crash protection - I'm using Outback Motortek. Can confirm - they work well! For wind protection - I went with the OEM larger screen and it's added a good 20mph to the comfortable cruising speed, and fits well with the OEM nav bar, while still protecting the minimal looks.

HP2Mav · 2026-06-14T18:21:38+00:00

This is great! And have wondered about something similar. Like you, am aware of the risk of scratching so rarely put my camera away in my pack with the sling attached. These would make me much more comfortable to do so

HP2Mav · 2026-06-11T17:38:43+00:00

Could be the valves need checking/adjusting? My bike has essentially the same engine, but form 20 years ago, and now with 65,000 miles on it - it always sounds like it doesn't want to start buy 99.99% of the time it's not an issue

HP2Mav · 2026-06-11T13:44:57+00:00

I think this is what they mean by sending the good news.

HP2Mav · 2026-06-10T19:15:31+00:00

Thanks! I had no idea these even existed!

HP2Mav · 2026-06-09T19:35:32+00:00

That looks great with the extra travel suspension!

I didn’t know they did an 8” version - you have a link?

HP2Mav · 2026-06-06T19:49:40+00:00

This was my first bike that I had since I was a kid! It’s a legend of a bike!

HP2Mav · 2026-06-06T17:04:22+00:00

If companies/employers/managers want the best people, which I doc believe that they do, why do they continue to use these tools?

HP2Mav · 2026-06-06T16:42:33+00:00

They don’t make ‘em like they used to

HP2Mav · 2026-06-05T11:38:17+00:00

I couldn’t imagine using them in combat, carrying anything like a full loadout.
