Hey, Rod & Luke! Minor annoyance, but... can the forum software be tweaked to allow the password to be kept in memory/cookies? My passwords are 16-character with caps & specials, and I'd like to NOT have to type it in all the time. Thanks!! Yes, and I admit the possibility of hackableness...

Ride to Chicago, drop off the bike, fly up to Alaska until Rod & Luke are done, return, etc. They don't call me "The Ultimate Trip Planner" for nothing... :D

Raul Julia said it best in "Cannonball Run", "What is behind me is not important!" 😂😂😂 I want the Warthog problem - not over-running my bullets & rockets...

As a long-time Yamaha rider (XS-500B, RD-400F (Daytona Special), XJ-650RJ (Seca 650 three times), I appreciate Yamaha reliability and character. If it hadn't been for that insanely fun BMW K1200R in yellow, I might have never gotten the best-selling adventure bike in the world... :D

Both? Both! 😁😁😁

My lizard brain appreciates the compliment! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Motorcycle Ergonomics isn't current, but I'd love to emulate that sort of graphic calculation to visualize balance points, etc.

I'm pretty sure that's called "value-seeking" behavior and is about the most rational way of behaving. Congrats, you're a canny one!!

Yeah, I'm saving 1827 as my desktop wallpaper, hope you don't mind!! :cool::cool: Rod, I'll take a plethora of pics of mine when it's assembled & such, no worries!! I also appreciate the Molon Labe & Gadsden flag stickers!

Really nice setup, I've also got the 2020 in Kalamata and the green Mosko panniers!

I'm going to use your configuration to show folks that I'm NOT excessively overloaded... :D Well, that's unfair, sorry, I haven't gotten mine yet and I may have to eat my words... :D When fully loaded, what's your ADV1's total weight & tongue weight?

Where is the center of gravity for the ADV1? Directly above the axle at some point, or does the hitch have any influence? Is there a graphic calculator out there that can input various shapes & weights to figure out the best loading patterns?

I'm a packrat??

Hey, I'm using my imagination here!! :D HMMWVs had a small (4"x4") solar panel on the hood to charge their batteries, no reason one couldn't be attached to the front side of the ADV1, right?

Indeed, the Billie does connect to the Clearwater Lights' CANopener and per Billy at Clearwater, "The wire can be as long as 120 inches and you still be fine for the Billie brake light." Therefore I assume that the wire from the Billie can run from the light all the way through the ADV1 wiring...

Pics & writeup, stat!! ;-) FWIW, my birthday is 1 August so if a large package shows up on my doorstep close to that date, I'll be very happy.

If need be, I can bring the whole kit & kaboodle up to Clearwater Lights when I get the ADV and let them figure out the wiring. I'm sure they'd be happy to figure it out and see the ADV1 so they can advertise their solution.

Hi, Rod! In addition to the tail lights, I'd like to get the Clearwater Lights Billie Jr installed at the back of the ADV1. I'll buy it & send it to you when needed. It hooks into most/all of the CANBUS doodads and (hopefully) picks up the programming of my bike-mounted Billie Jr. There's a...

What kind of bear would fit into a canister? Willingly, anyway. :D
