There are pictures from Hulett, WY, Custer, SD, and Wall, SD thrown in here too, so it may seem like there aren't many bikes in some of the pictures. I haven't posted all of them either.

Day 1 was on the Friday before the rally officially began - Main St. was still open to traffic. By Sunday, there were thousands upon thousands of bikes. I've never been before, so I have nothing to compare it to. My phone could only capture one block within the frame and there were several blocks closed off.

Decided to 3D print a shaft cover for the shifter shaft since I removed my heel shifter. I sanded down the little ***** and put in a set screw. Looks good.

I finally ran the USB extender to the rear seat.

Lifted the tank, opened the rat's nest.


Ran the USB cable down in the tray.


The wife can charge her phone now.

Nice Brandon, great footage! Did you stay in a hotel in rapid city? Also, did you ride the bike there? I'm thinking of going next year, riding my bike there too.

Yes and yes. And I would do it again! It was such a great time.

It looks like all my past Touring bikes.There is a lot of wires in that tunnel and I think Moco did a great job of running them straight and not tangled up with each other.I have already had my 2017 apart to run my headset wiring.Pop the cover off,run wire and put cover back on,nice and neat.
