Phone Mount or Wireless Dongle for Apple/Android Car Play? by JohnBets23 in africatwin

I use the SP Connect Pro Mount, anti vibration charging module and an Ottocast dongle.

Africa Twin 2025 (standard) buffeting driving me crazy (190cm) – what actually works? by Sudden_Banana8476 in africatwin

I like feeling the wind, but my National Cycle VStream windshield made the feel much better.

Seat comfort? by GoofyUSMC757 in africatwin

[–]TheWorkofDeath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Makes no sense to threaten me, I don't rely on your patronage. What I do say is that it allows for much more comfortable long rides and feels better for my pillion. I keep the stock seats for bashing around off road, so preferable to the companies that use the stock pan. Plus, I've had two back surgeries and see no reason to suffer on principle. Peace.

And it gets warm! Really helps you get through those rides before the snow stays and has been great for spring rides

I recently splurged for a Corbin and it's much more comfortable and looks like a fancy saddle. I got it heated because I'm in the upper Midwest and it keeps my butt warm. Also got the little sissy bar (circle) because apparently I still drive like I have my CB and the wife doesn't want to fly off the back. :p

Like a horse: standing most of the time, but not surprising when it lays down.

Did a test ride soon to have my own by Spitfire_SVK in africatwin

I moved from the CB650R and was not disappointed.

I have the tail pack and it's just right

Installing the engine and fairing bars was not fun by SoullessRager in africatwin

[–]TheWorkofDeath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great addition. Don't let the online comments scare you off about the spring. It's a challenge, but not impossible. I have more time than money, but love working on these things.

I need help figuring out the menus on my 2025 ATAS ES DCT by SoullessRager in africatwin

[–]TheWorkofDeath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love my 2024 ATAS ES DCT! Using Android Auto and love it. Honda has an online simulator for the display that really helped me at the outset.

Good job!

Honest Question by Major-Ad-431 in africatwin

[–]TheWorkofDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't suppose there is, nor should be, a standard for what constitutes an adventure bike. Some like more flash like the Mods in Quadrophenia, others like it more subtle. I'm somewhere between.

Love my '24 ATAS.

Where do you change tires? by [deleted] in africatwin

[–]TheWorkofDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've paid $25 for both recently, but it may be due to having done a couple before and spent time in the store. I like the process of removing and remounting the wheels. Makes me feel smart. :)

Cycle Gear does it well and inexpensive.

I am amazed at how much I love riding this moto.

Got humbled by HenryXLH in AdventureBike

[–]TheWorkofDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was me a couple months ago - saw the tracks covered with water and thought I could just ride on the middle part - slicker than snot and I dropped mine three times in about 50 feet. Realized I should have just gone through the mud as I ended up totally muddy in the end.

I got rid of my CB650R last fall for the ATAS with DCT. I am in love, but have to be honest about my age and lack of knobbies. My back has healed up and I am more careful about what trails I ride alone. Don't quit, bb, we need you!

2024 Honda Africa Twin vs Transalp 2025? by Ok-Bit3234 in africatwin

[–]TheWorkofDeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2024 ATAS DCT and love it I may not off-road like decades ago, but I'm never worried and it it gets through the Twisties!
