For me the wheel chock helps hold the bike once it is on the trailer before I get the TRS locked in. I also feel the wheel chock helps hold the front wheel from moving sideways during transport. I have trailered hundreds of miles using the Pit Bull TRS with no issues or worries. If I am using ratchet straps I'm always worried if a strap has loosened up or if a hook has come loose. No worries with Pit Bull TRS. I made sure I have the TRS bolted into steel angle iron on the trailer so I'm not relying on plywood or decking alone. Wood rot is always a concern.

@@chasmoto8217 Awesome thanks for the feedback.

Did a lot of logging roads and trails this year. Nothing the Himalayan couldn't handle. Ride Smart, Ride Safe.

Thank you. I'm not having any issues with exhaust leaks. I can't really suggest anything other than making sure everything is aligned properly. Ride Safe.

Hey Brother. I just got the Stellar exhaust and I can’t seem to get it to fit. Did you have to switch sides for the brackets or something? It’s late, and I’m going to take another look at it tomorrow but it seems like the holes for the bracket to mount to are way off, just wondering if there’s something I’m missing. Great video, thanks a lot!

@@johnfeeney6018​​⁠Yes I swapped the bracket left to right, right to left. I also had to loosen the entire exhaust from the headers back. I was able to fit everything nicely but I did notice exhaust leaks. It’s not too bad but idk if it will cause problems down the line. Didn’t get to ride it much before winter. Hope this helps, stay safe!

@@johnfeeney6018 The order of sequence when tightening everything up made a big difference with the alignment. Watch video from 3:20 on. Good luck.

@@UntamedCafe switching the brackets did the trick! I just got everything fitted up and installed the DNA air filter. I’m going to run it tomorrow, can’t wait to hear how she sounds!

@@keepitreal1547 I have a little over 3000 miles on it. Probably 90% road 10%% off-road due to my location. I changed front sprocket to 16 tooth makes big difference on road. Still not a great interstate bike but does 70-75 mph all day long. Do expect fuel mileage to drop when riding interstate speeds. 50-55 mpg on highway, 70-75 mpg on secondary roads. Off road the 411 is amazing. I’m not that experienced off road but the 411 works well for me. I also just upgraded tires to Shinko 804/805 and am leaving in a couple days for the Adirondacks. Gonna try Wolf Pond Rd again probably in other direction. Good luck. Ride Smart, Ride Safe.

@@chasmoto8217 That's fantastic to hear, I'm still running mine in, standard other than engine bars, hand guards, rear pannier racks for protection & a couple of other small extras. It's not got dirty as yet, though once it does, I'll feel like I've christened it 😀 I'm around 1.5hrs from lots of off road & i'm looking forward to overnight camping trips, even over the winter. There's a number of positives on our 2023/24 411, over the previous models. Take care

The Honda DCT system on both the GE and AT are amazing and flawless. Just roll the throttle and go. I shift using the paddle shifters so I control when the shifts happen up or down. If you forget to shift down in manual mode the DCT takes care of it for you. I had no issues off road on the AT but didn’t hit very technical stuff. Can’t see it having any problems. You have to remember to use the rear brake in certain situations like slow maneuvers. Takes a little practice. The latest vide heading south is ruclips.net/video/ygEHkM-5zhI/видео.htmlsi=qSXrWlec4Paji5L3

I'll do what I can. Still want to enjoy the ride...

Thanks Charlie, really enjoyed it…

Enjoy the Gold Wing. Ride Smart. Ride Safe.

Nothing like it. Careful with sport mode at low speeds as it can be a handful. I reserve it for the highway in sport manual 7th gear when dodging traffic.

Yes, very easy to program. Just go step by step through the parameters. Check out the video's on the Hard Racing website. Also I believe for a 2022 Monkey, you would want the OpmidM1208. Check Hard Racing website or give them a call. I'm sure they could answer your questions.....store.hardracing.com/opmid-m1208-multi-meter-dash-plug-n-play-22-honda-monkey-125-jb03-23-ct125-ja65-dax125-jb04-

I use Econ mode to smooth out throttle response. I'll twist is all the way around if I feel the need for speed. If I use Tour mode and certainly sport mode, throttle response is just too twitchy for me at least. Smooth is fast - so they say. We weren't going crazy with the wives on the back of the bikes either. I don't think we hit much of 33. My favorite was 93/42 (Union Hwy) coming down from the Mt Storm Power Station. Awesome road.....

@@chasmoto8217 Sport mode is def twitchy, and tour mode can be as well if in a slow speed, tight turn - one slip of the wrist and it could be an unpleasant surprise. I'm looking forward to getting back to WV - great place to ride.

@@chasmoto8217 Great video thanks. Another option for a smooth ride on roads like this is tour manual. As you know the big Wing will actually downshift in manual mode when you reach the minimum speed for that gear. Those shifts are virtually imperceptible. I'm right next door in Maryland and I use this technique on chill back roads and just use my left index finger for up shifts letting the bike do the rest. People either understand the DCT or they don't. It's a versatile transmission and suits the big Wing to a T.

@@gwilliamwallace I prefer Econ mode since it provides a much smoother throttle response. Always good to know the GW will downshift for you if you are busy with other things. I simply like to get the upshifts and downshifts when I want them. Ride Safe.

@@chasmoto8217 Love the big Wing. The only thing close is the 1000 cc V6 with VTEC weighing in at 600 pounds wet that is only available in my imagination.

We left at 6:00 AM both going and coming back. The return trip traffic was usual on the Belt/SSP. The GW is the way to go if you plan on doing a lot of miles. Not sure where I got the holder. They are pretty reasonable on Amazon. www.amazon.com/EZ-Pass-Holder-Suction-Windshield-dp-B0B5C8TBCW/dp/B0B5C8TBCW/ref=dp_ob_title_auto?th=1 Ride Smart, Ride Safe.....

​@@chasmoto8217 We left yesterday at 5 am heading south. Same early morning view of the VZ from below. Thanks for the link 👍

I would not hesitate to buy it again. Many think the DCT is an "automotive automatic" type transmission - it's really a traditional gearbox with dual clutches and shift solenoids fitted to it. I have no issues with slow speed maneuvers - and yes, dragging the rear brake is the key. When you drag the brake it forces the clutches to slip - essentially same as slipping clutch on traditional gearbox. See comments on the "twisties" video. They are piling up.

@@chasmoto8217 I have the 2023 Goldwing DCT, I see you are riding yours the same way I ride mine, in manual mode. I almost only ride it in manual mode, Auto only works well on a strait road with a bunch of stop lights/signs. I see most guys on RUclips riding theirs in auto and don't understand how they can be happy with how it works 90% of the time. Knowing this I'm still very happy with the DCT and would buy it again.

@@russruss123rv I ride exclusively in manual mode. Not that the bike shifts poorly in automatic mode, I just like to have total control of when it shifts. The only time the DCT can be a drag is when it downshifts during a slow speed turn especially if you are not expecting it. If I have it in manual mode, I'm in control and I'll be in the right gear throughout any turn. Enjoy. Ride smart, Ride Safe.....

I use the DCT in manual mode 99% of the time. Shifting is simply done with your forefinger and thumb instead of your left foot. Test ride a DCT. You will be surprised and how flawlessly it works.

Well, I think you have to use the clutch and toe shift on a straight shift to "override" the gears on it too. Have you ever even ridden a bike with DCT? You choose what you want and what you pay for. Don't knock it until you try it. Also, the DCT is 7 speed, the straight shift is 6.

@@chasmoto8217 Interesting how folks shift differently? On my GW DCT I leave it in what would be 'A" mode similar to automatic but far different; then I use the 'paddle' levers while in A mode and shift up and down as I please. In a couple of seconds if you have not made an input, the bike shifts up or down depending on RPM and speed. My favorite way to ride and I don't have to use A and M unless I want to ride in sport. Sport mode gives the throttle a very itchy 'trigger' finger, FYI. Regardless of your style the DW DCT is great for many folks. (Many don't know but a large % of newer 18 wheelers are DCT ! And the drivers I have talked with LOVE IT. This love/hate DCT or automatic discussion reminds me of the same squabbles from cars and pick-ups about 1950/60's and up. I suggest to relax, get your panties out of a wad and enjoy the roads while we still can!!! Good Rides

It seems it’s the best of both worlds it shifts so fast that it’s not possible with a clutch

I am sold again

You should have no problem with the seat height of the Sabre. Very Managable. Good luck. Ride Smart, Ride Safe.

When I purchased the bike it had the risers on the handlebar and a windscreen installed. I wanted the bike to be as close to stock as possible. I removed the risers and windscreen. I then found that the cables, wires, were not routed in the stock locations. I assume they were moved to accommodate the risers. I pulled the handlebars off, routed all wires, cables in stock locations and reinstalled. So, yes, I guess it is possible to use stock wires, cables, but will require creative routing solutions. Good Luck. Ride Smart, Ride Safe.

I have had no problems with transmissions due to wheel movement on any of the bikes I used the Pit Bull trailer restraint with. If that is a concern, leave the bike in neutral.

Excellent Choice, Alexander. The Interceptor 650 is very easy to handle, in my opinion. Good luck with your purchase. Ride Smart & Ride Safe, Товарищ.....

I purchased the seat kit from Seat Concepts seatconcepts.com According to their website there is a dealer located in Montcada Spain, Viejos Pistones Adventure Moto Calle Salvador Dali, 9 Local 7 Montcada i Reixac, BCN 08110, Spain Hope this helps.

I have a few things going on right now. Let me see if I can duplicate what I have. What year Himalayan? Which CalSci Windscreen?

@@brentrohner7336 Brackets are done. I'll need an email address or other means to contact you. LMK.

According to Wikipedia, "Beyond the chopper-style Fury, the VT1300C line offered three conventional cruiser models for 2010, all of which remain in the lineup for 2014: Sabre, Interstate and Stateline.[57] Honda previously used both the Interstate and Sabre names for other models, the most recent being the VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre." At some point all of these except the Fury was discontinued. The Fury is still available as a new bike today.

Funny you ask about the Sabre. I just got it out of the shed today, dusted it off and took it for a ride. Check out Sean, from SRK cycles, take on the fury, sabre, stateline, interstate. ruclips.net/video/bfPFpzSobiY/видео.htmlsi=zA4cDHoVWBpu32Ms&t=563

It's different than the fury. Different design.

Hey Carlo, Really like my 2023 Himalayan. Ride Smart, Ride Safe!

I had the bike on the center stand and put it in gear to show gear indicator and speed. Very easy to change parameters. Much brighter than stock gauge. Still happy? Absolutely.....

@@chasmoto8217 thanks for update!

I am very happy with the tone of the exhaust. Sounds nice. I think performance has improved slightly with exhaust and intake modification. Still doing break in miles so haven't really rung it out yet. Ride smart, Ride safe!

No, Vance & Hines slip on's

I do notice an improvement in performance. I'm still breaking bike in (about 400miles left to go) so no full throttle pulls yet or pulls to redline, but seems to have more torque and a little more HP. I think the exhaust and intake mod has helped. So far averaging 73.4 miles per gallon. The intake mod cost a few dollars for the steel plate. The exhaust was $185.00 USD plus tax on eBay.

Hi, is the new exhaust lighter?

Yes, about 2.5lbs or 1kg lighter.@@untamedsmiles1338

Happy New Yea!. Are you all mended up? I heard you had some bad luck last year.

More like lack of skill. 🤣@@chasmoto8217 All better now.

One of my favorite roads! Yes, that is the remote form my GoPro that's attached to the L/S handlebar with a velcro strap. Much easier to start/stop camera with the remote than trying to find the button on the GoPro mounted to my helmet👍

Thank you. I love it too....

seat height before at front 32.5"/825mm, at rear 34.5"/876mm, after at front 34"/863mm, at rear 35.5"/902mm. These measurements with bike upright without rider.

I love the sound of the Vance & Hines slip on mufflers that came with the bike. I have the stock exhaust too but doubt I'll ever install it.👍

Не позорься. Иди спать.

@@konskons74 вы правы, я просто плохо искал

Great road, sweeping curves, little traffic. 👍

Looks amazing. Thank you.
