Re: Front end shake as if driving over a washboard/rumble st
Thanks for the update. Going to order a cover this week. I probably just missed you in Yellowstone. I did see one other Chinook while I was there.

Re: Black Hills, Yellowstone, Washington State
As luck would have it, bad weather was moving into the area just as I was heading into Yellowstone. Couple that with poor planning, and my Yellowstone visit was a little disappointing. I didn't realize, after September 15th, several of the camping options at Yellowstone close for the season. I ended...

Re: Black Hills, Yellowstone, Washington State
From Devil's Tower I headed toward Yellowstone. I traveled 313 miles to Cody, WY (the east entrance to Yellowstone). On the way to Cody, I took the scenic route through Big Horn National Park. The decent out of Big Horn was amazing. Here is a short video link: https://youtu.be/ygS8tJ1Rqvk I ended up...

Re: Black Hills, Yellowstone, Washington State
It was less than 100 miles from the Back Hills to Devils Tower National Monument. Devils Tower in the distance. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k577/knightsb99/9837A053-F175-436A-B25B-DB3ED7CFB4AD_zpsiet2fwn4.jpg A closer look. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k577/knightsb99/EEE240E6-303B-43...

Re: Black Hills, Yellowstone, Washington State
The trip started with a visit to the Black Hills National Park. For $24, I was able to stay right on Horse Thief Lake about three miles from Mt. Rushmore. Here is a picture of the Chinook from across the lake. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k577/knightsb99/34927C36-1E53-4E73-89BD-05EB97D34B59_z...

Black Hills, Yellowstone, Washington State
Just completed a 4,600 mile loop that included the Black Hills, Yellowstone, Washington State. I was very happy with the motorcycle carrier, however I did learn the hard way, in Cody, WY, that you have to be careful entering/exiting parking lots and the steep angle some have as the extra length may ...

Unfortunately not, it's carbureted.Manitou wrote:Nice! Fuel injected? How much do you figure it all weighs in at?
The curb weight (wet weight with fluids topped off) of the DRZ 400S is 318lbs.
The AMC-400 motorcycle carrier is 36lbs. It is rated to carry 400lbs.

Re: Supplemental Heat
I have a Mr. Heater Big Buddy. I am going to give that a try this fall.
You can get a propane line adapter if you want to tap into the existing propane tank.
Mr. Heater also has an adapter called the Mr. Heater Stay A While that sits between the propane on/off knob and the regulator.

Re: Spare Tire
I have the carrier BG described. I happen to have it off at the moment to repaint. I can take a picture if you would like. Also, I had ASAP fabricate replacement chrome bumpers. The were a perfect match to the originals. All the mounting points aligned correctly. ASAP was great to deal with. The rep...
