    ADV5 Sound deadening

    To quiet the interior noise of my ADV 5. I used rubber mat from a horse stall. It's about 1/2 inch thick, very dense and heavy. I got a sheet of it at C-A-L Ranch. Cost about $64. Helped a lot for reduced noise and heat. I also used Dyamatt sheets on the rear outer bed wall sides, behind the...

    Oil Filter Relocation Kit

    I think I'll go with this access panel. It's cheaper and will not affect the warranty. Elevation Powersports access panel

    Oil Filter Location?

    Time for the first oil change on my Northstar ADV 5. Just where in the Hxxx is the oil filter located? The manual is useless. It indicates it somewhere near the dip stick. There is no way to get my hands behind all the AC stuff in that area. Do you have to take the skid plate off?

    Exhaust

    Has anyone ever tried a MagnaFlow Performance 409 Stainless Steel 2.5 Inch Muffler 10416. They're only $98.00 at Summit Racing. Just take it to a muffler shop and have them make the connections and mounting brackets. Maybe a $100 on labor a parts. Much better than spending $1000 on a pretty muffler.

    You have got to be kidding $1,225.00 USD for a tire carrier? That's friggin' ridiculous! But you do get free shipping! Really?

    Adventure/ State thread

    I suggest this years ago on another site, Wow! Did I get flamed for that. They hated the idea that others might find out where they travel. They wanted to keep their routes secret. I left that site shortly after that.

    Ride Buddies

    I used to live in Caldwell years ago when in the Air Force, I worked at a radar site a few miles west of Wilder. I left there in 1978. Wanted to stay, but just couldn't fine the right job at the time. I really miss that area. I've been to the Owhyee's numerous times. Do you know how Owhyee's got...

I don't like hacking up a new vehicle. The mount I used for the radio only required 4 small screws...

    Adjustable seating for driver and passenger?

    The hole size is about 5/16 inch. As for location to drill the holes. Remove the seat and just measure the distance between the two 10mm bolts attaching the seat adjuster to the bottom of the seat. The seat can be removed easily. There are two 40 torx bolts at the front of the seat. Once...
