I just picked up a 40L earth pak roll top wet bag. And you are correct the fact it holds air makes for a great backrest. My Northface is now my gear bag and it fits perfect on the back of the sissy bar. Minus food I could stay out for a long time. ha ha

I have a Metzeler but only done a couple of thousand miles on it with no issues and seems to be wearing ok, mine was made in Germany.

It's too bad they don't make the Night Dragon in a larger size. I would like to try a wider tire like a 260 next go around but I have been happy with the Night Dragons I have on my Rocker now.

Has anyone ever dealt with overheating? I was sitting in dead stop traffic for a long time the other day and not only did my seat get really hot but I feared my engine was going to shut off or malfunction. Would my only option be to pull off to the shoulder and turn it off?

Do you have a stock tune in your bike? If so, get a tuner that'll let you richen the mixture a little and turn off the EITMS.
