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.

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...
