If this tent doesn't work for you for your motorcycle, I would suggest looking into the Catoma Outdoors IBNS Cots Spring Loaded Pop-up Tent that can be attached to the bed of a Military Cot or there Raiders Tent with Rain-Fly. I'm interested to find out your review use of the tent because some people tested it out in the rain and loved it and some found water inside on the floor the next morning, so there are some mixed reviews on whether or not these are good tents and worth the money or not? I've also seen a new advertisement from Reactive Outdoor on a newer much larger tent were the back door opens up to connect to a hatchback vertical trunk opening from a SUV vehicle. I'm curious about there vehicle connecting tent as well?
@Touringmidwest
@Touringmidwest 22 дня назад
Yeah they have a few different options for tents. I was really impressed with the tents in the rain.. both of mine held up surprisingly well and stayed completely dry in heavy rain which I had serious doubts that they’d be dry but both of them were bone dry inside after a week with rain nearly everyday. I still need to get a video together regarding that test. I will have some updates, life has just gotten incredibly busy so I’ve had to take some time off from videos until I can get a handle on things and make time to record and edit.

I bought a small size, the workmanship is excellent and a lot of thought went into the design, BUT the top is slightly concave (check out some vids and pics) and rainwater could puddle there because the small top cover is too small to cover the whole of the concave top. That's easy to solve by simply making our own larger cover from a spare bit of tent fabric, but i thought i'd mention it. Also, be aware the small size tent weighs a hefty 6 pounds which is a bit heavy for backpacking on foot or bicycle, so I think a motorbike or vehicle is needed. Suggestion to the tentmakers- bring out a 1-person version to cut down the weight.

05/05/2024, (FYI to ALL), I recently purchased a Tury Fast Max for my 2014 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic (stock). Everything loads fine but after driving the bike a few miles and then stopping, the bike goes into factory limp mode throwing the following codes: P1510 - THROTTLE ACTUATOR CODE, P1512 - FORCED IDLE MODE, P2122 - ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR, P2127 - TWIST GRIP SENSOR 2, U0156 - LOST COMMUNICATION WITH SPEEDO. When I contacted Tury Fast, I was advised that it may be because I was using an android phone and they recommended that I try an apple phone. I tried an apple phone and the same thing occurred, with the same codes. “NOTE", a friend of mine recently purchased a 2023 Roadglide (stock), and he also had the same issues. It should also be noted that both my and his Tury Fast were purchased through the same Shop just a couple of days apart, so it’s unknown if maybe they were both part of a bad batch. (I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED ON THIS $300 DOLLAR ITEM, THAT THEY WON’T REFUND MY MONEY ON).

Just close your eyes like pin the tail on the donkey! 😂 I put a few of these CVO badges on tanks before. Just did another set last week. They are a pain in the ass to get right. Your way may get your right and left and up and down placement the same on both sides but your pieces of tape does not get the emblem level. when you’re sit on the bike under the riders weight they won’t look right. Use soapy water so you can move the emblem around and get it perfect and when you push on it, it will stick. As the water evaporates, it will really stick. The way you’re doing it it is set in stone as soon as it touches paint. And you know once that happens, they are not coming off again to readjust. Just sayin

Dude, I have 2 Soundz IRON 65 speakers ( I think they’re equivalent to the M65 speakers offered now? They were the low end speakers at the time.) with their lower grade amp in a 2017 Road Glide. My radio gets as loud as my buddy’s 4 speaker set up with H-D RF Boom Stage 3 set up. Where Soundz wins hands down is the clarity of the sound, and that amp is in the fairing, not taking up saddlebag space.
