Got around to installing it today after using an extra can of Monstaliner on the interior and exterior. I was hoping it would give it a slightly rubbery feel (it didn't), but I like the way it looks and it should be durable. Install was easy since I had the console apart for a HAM rewire. It's...
Just received mine. Great construction and lock and I look forward to installing it soon. Question: If I wanted to dress it up with black paint, what did you use in post #1 and how has it held up?
I've driven to CA ski areas hundreds of time in snowy conditions in 30 years, always with 4wd and almost always with BFG ATs. I have never once been made to install chains, but dozens of times been asked by CHP if I am carrying them. Only been asked to see them once. When I was younger, I would...
***Disregard, didn’t realize this was the aluminum Dissent thread!*** I’ll give you the least robust solution if you need something quickly. I attached a wire to the back because I didn’t trust it, but it hasn’t budged in over two years, including high speed washboard, high speed highway...
I agree, and wobble is more accurate than vibration. I wouldn’t worry about it going anywhere, but it’s not comforting to watch the bikes shaking like that. A 19" extension had much more wobble than the drop hitch, but both let me open the swingout when the 1UP is in the lowest position. The...
True, and I tried a variety of hitch extensions with some success. The drop hitch or a long extension were the only things that allowed me to use the swingout, and the long extension caused too much vibration on the highway.
Your understanding is correct. I have an original Dissent rear and my 1Up rack does not work with the bumper hitch - it puts the first tray too close to the spare - but the no-cut might be slightly different. I have been using a drop hitch receiver while Ben makes me a second swingout for my...
I am on over 4 years and 47,000 miles on my Icon stage 1 setup, used as a DD and a few hundred off road miles a year, with bumpers front and rear and sliders. They probably need to be rebuilt by now, but none are leaking yet. Even at this interval, they performed very well on 100 miles of rough...
BenCC made me a set of the blue ones shown earlier, but in black. They fit perfectly on Compressions. I called Icon to confirm that Rebounds and Compressions use the same cap.
