Hardaspie's SYM Wolf threadfest

[HardAspie]

I have a pair of "Paul Jr. Design" (made by Coleman) soft 'bags that might work for you. Pretty nice - have built in rain covers and reflective material. New, but are dusty from being on a shelf in the shop. Don't fit on anything I have. Yours for the cost of shipping if you want them.

I just measured. Over about 11.5: L I may have an issue with interference.

They're about 16" long overall.

I have a new Hein Gerke  (sp) red and black leather jacket that you can have if you can wear a  42. It's a great jacket. .

Uh oh. That is longer than practical. Short bike, WB is 49" so there is little room to work with. Thanks though!

Worth a try. I was going to have to relocate the signals on my Morini for them to work and the others have hard 'bags. Won't work on my XT500 either. Guess I'll have to buy a "cruiser" like in the photos so I can use them.

Well, now you have a reason to buy another bike! There is silver inside every cloud.

wow! Awesome. Question, is it for one with long arms?

[Triple Jim]

Someone before me changed the rear signals on my Mille to little round chrome ones without stalks.  They allow saddlebags like that to rest on them without a problem, and are still visible with the bags in place.  I know you're not anxious to modify a brand new motorcycle, but still...

Probably not, but I could measure when I break out of the hospital. .

I have really long arms...I am proportioned like Alice the Goon! So it prolly is not a match, but many thanks. Hey! How much longer til you get out of there? If there is any issue in breaking out, you might take a few moments to peruse bosnianbill and his Lock Tube channel on YT. A few lessons from him and an empty pop can and you are on your way!

Stalk removal is popular amongst Wolf owners. Issue is just that in the US it is probably technically illegal. Have you had any issues with the fuzz?

When I mounted hardbags on my MZ Silver Star, I bent up a simple "C" shaped bracket that bolted to the license plate bracket and moved the signals back there. No stalk removal or even alteration needed. I made up short extension harness to connect the wiring. All easily reversible.

Thanks for the info. I plan to run bags off more than on and think that for now I will be a bit vain and keep the winkers stock.

Now that is elegant! I just ordered a set of River Road Slant Classic Compact bags. At 12: OAL they should clear my winkers. If they don't fully clear with bags where I want them I can crush the tops a bit. I think the slant will help the fit.

Not many miles since last post as I am now in keep miles off until first service mode. I plan to keep service on the dealer's logs so that there is no question as to the warranty, fortunately servicing is is easy. I have been making local runs with many stops; good for some thermal cycling while motorcycling. When the warranty expires I can do it myself, and for now the dealer can do it cheap. I am ever liking it. It has personality. It is compact and the clip ons are solid and comfy and with  the olden look speedo and tach and an atop it not inside it feel with just a tad of forward lean it feels like a little cafe racer. Handling is pretty good. There is a decreasing radius turn not far north of me that always was a bit unsettling on the Reflex. Little Wolfie gobbles up things like that and asks if I might be so kind as to defrost a few more.

Second trip to petrol station: 109 miles that seem just about right as I know distances here, and 1.15 gallons into the tank - assuming any degree of pump accuracy. Calculated 94.7 MPG. Wolfie is a cheap date! Puts a smile on my face for sure.

Yes, and I hope you get a commission on every bike sold Steve.
As I told your store owner, it's why we bought the Griso THERE.

Floyd sold it, then ordered it.
