    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I like how that one is also snell rated. That helmet never came up in my searches. It looks a little heavy but seems to be a quality piece. How would you rate the noise? I don’t know if you had helmet speakers or ever wore earbuds but that’s kind of what I’m hoping for is to find some thing...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    This is good and interesting feedback. It’s not that I need one helmet I have plenty of motocross helmets. It’s interesting that you say that about the ventilation as that’s what they claim to be the biggest upgrade with the new klim opposed to the previous model is all the upgraded...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    So I just ordered a Klim Krios Pro helmet yesterday. At $750 I’m kind of feeling some buyers remorse and I don’t even have it yet. I’ve never spent anywhere near that kind of money on a helmet before I have a hard time believing it’s going to be that much better...

    I think you are correct. And there is evidence this happened with external power and ground cables that are part of the SSV package. I have been able to come up with the wiring diagrams for all the SSV stuff added. Although I don't think this is where the problem is. I'm seeing some evidence...

    So a little update I’ve been digging through this thing as much as I can without literally taking the engine compartment apart to access things that I’m not even sure what I’m searching for and haven’t had any luck finding the break in the connection. Ultimately I need to take it to the shop but...

    I’m sure it’s against popular opinion here but I say shorten the C10 fame and go short bed. Either new bedsides or just shorten the stock bed.

    Katzkins Leather interiors

    I picked the Tahoe up today. It took a little longer that originally quoted on time and for me that’s not a big deal but I could see how if it was an only vehicle it may have been annoying. The window tint is flawless. Some of the best tint I’ve ever had installed. The leather looks good...

    I’ve gone all around the wiring harness I can see from a creeper underneath and everything looks super factory under there so I don’t think they messed with any of the wiring harness in the back half. It’s possible it has maybe been in the front end collision so my guess is either a connector...

    Electrical help or shop recommendations

    It does and that’s a decent idea. I should get it back from the shop doing the interior and tint tomorrow and I plans to start by looking at the plugs under the dash. It’s a nice enough vehicle id really rather fix the problem but if I have no luck and the local Chevy dealer has no luck I may...

    I might take you up on that. After @Spork posted about the control being plug in I looked under the dash and sure enough a big block with 4-5 connections. I think I’ll start with pulling all of those and see if any loose or bent pins may have happened while pulling the controller out.

    Katzkins Leather interiors

    I’m dropping the vehicle off at DC customs in bountiful tomorrow morning for the leather installation and window tint. They are charging me $600 install for the two front seats and the rear 60/40 bench. Seems very reasonable as I estimate it to be a 8-10 hour job. I’ll updated you all with the...

    Correction I’ve checked the rear bulbs not the front. I don’t think a bad front bulb would effect the rear brake/turn though.

    Electrical help or shop recommendations

    I recently picked up a 2017 Chevy Tahoe at auction that was a Utah county sheriffs vehicle. I’ve been doing quite a bit of work to it to make it look not like a cop car and more comfortable/refined inside. The front and rear passenger blinkers and rear brake light are not working. The tail...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I got word today Cutlers was able to work something out with Suzuki. I should have a 2022 V-Strom 1050 XT Adventure by the end of May. I’m looking forward to putting some miles down on this bike.

    I’ve had issues with an isolators charging the aux batteries to full once you run them below the main starting battery. I’ve since moved to a 60 amp DC to DC charger and haven’t had issues. Hopefully you have better luck than I did.

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    So Cutlers down in Orem called me back. I spoke with the owner and man that was a really fantastic experience compared to everything else in the power sports industry I’ve dealt with so far. So he seems to have a really good working relationship with Suzuki and he called and talk to them...
