I will be at Americade in Lake George, NY 2-8 June for that large rally (all brands of touring motorcycles). Ride safe!<BR/><BR/>Cheers, MagicMagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747623098932570171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-14619658882766132102008-05-20T13:58:00.000-05:002008-05-20T13:58:00.000-05:00Sharon, I have the detachable series 918 install...Sharon, <BR/> I have the detachable series 918 installed on Yamato Special. The fit and finish is fine. Haven't installed one on the Moonbeam yet. The warranty is their protection from tampering and mods on the case during installation. Upon receipt, check for cracks, proper hinge operation, locking system and optional brake light operation. Anything amiss; you get a return authorization. They've been burned for returns that's been modified to fit certain bikes which they can't resell as new. My top case works just fine. I had to remove my sissy bar and had to buy the proper rack to install the base plate. Mine is "detachable" but I had the brake lights wired semi-permanently (taped). I'll re-wire it and get a detachable bayonet type connectors. The 918 is only $115 bucks; at that price and usefulness, it is a great deal.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>TonyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-52591616606270469252008-05-20T09:13:00.000-05:002008-05-20T09:13:00.000-05:00Tony, do you know anything about ths company?

I don't know if that is correct but it sure doesn't seem reasonable to me. Perhaps I read wrong? Do you currently own one of their trunks? If so, what's your take on quality, durability, service etc. Thanks.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-27348163030140635132008-05-20T09:10:00.000-05:002008-05-20T09:10:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-30038412828189707752008-05-20T07:17:00.000-05:002008-05-20T07:17:00.000-05:00Tony, I checked out the topcases--amazed at the pr...Tony, I checked out the topcases--amazed at the prices. The one I had planned to order this week is more than twice that cost! I'm placing an order with Mutazu today!

Thanks so much for the heads up on the topcase. Queenie has Givi but I really don't like the Givi topcase for the ST; I'm considering at Hepco Becker and a Krauser both of which I like okay, but I'm not that thrilled. I will immediately check out your suggestion! I do like the Givi side cases and need to get this resolved soon as I have some upcoming trips that need luggage. Just picked up a new gps (the little Zumo), put a "bigfoot" on the side stand--yes, I'm beginning to go a bit farkle crazy. Stop me!

They're inexpensive still but not for long. Word is getting around. Ride and be safe always.<BR/>Tony (Vulcan AL)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-51152518349111770692008-05-18T22:50:00.000-05:002008-05-18T22:50:00.000-05:00Thanks Jack!

I'm so used to not having one that it's a treat to glance at it display itself. What will take some getting used to is the sound of the bike. It is so dramatically different than what I'm used to and it's freaking me a little as it sounds like a small truck? It's not a bad or offensive sound--just different than what I've cut my teeth on, so to speak.<BR/><BR/>Re: your Dodge City/Deadwood trip.

What do you think of the gear shift indicator? You are now the proud owner of one of the most sophisticated two-wheeled time machines the world has ever seen. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm thinking of taking a run out to Dodge City this summer. From there, the destination will be north to Deadwood. Ir would be cool if our paths crossed for a bit. <BR/><BR/>Fondest regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557834.post-12044418249416110032008-05-17T18:07:00.000-05:002008-05-17T18:07:00.000-05:00What a great day to break in "Jessie?"!
