I was just thinking about where I could stash my camelbak on the MXR after I went for a short ride without it on my back. Felt so much more comfortable without it binding up my arms and chest and dragging my chest protector down in the back and always having it riding up the front of my neck...

Right on, I will consider those as well, thank you!

How's your B&S Q6500 holding up? Still happy with it powering the Fast Charger? Can you link to the specific "high temp sound deading material from McMaster Carr" that you purchased? I looked on their site, but there's a ton of different materials and I couldn't zero in on any one item that...

Thanks for the input, but that ship has sailed, completed the journey, docked, the goods have been unloaded, and put into use already. See post # 38 above. I love this bike and I'm so glad I bought it. If it croaks for good tomorrow, I will have no regrets. -Ed Ps: Going to see about rigging...

Me too! Me too! Ha ha. I actually like the look and of course, as mentioned, preserving the hard to source plastics is never a bad idea. Thanks for posting the pics and info guys. -Ed

Right on. Keep us posted if you get some spares cut how they work, would be good to get confirmation that the blanks are working correctly. And I recently heard the saying "One is none, and two is one." Made perfect sense to me. Was discussing with the wife and grown daughter the other night...

I'll take one, PM inbound.

As I expected, my local key guy was able to make me a couple of spares, tested both on the bike, one works fine, the other tends to stick a bit, but with very minor jiggling it works. We lubed the tumbler, and he did quite a bit of fine tuning the second key, but it wouldn't work any better, so...

Lol. Just kidding. 99% of what comes out of my mouth or keyboard is ridiculous bs. In fact I need to create a sig with that disclaimer. And I live in Snoqualmie btw, just use Seattle as my generic location on forums. It just sounded funny to me the idea that some dirt bike dude would be...

I had a pony! Lol

I was gonna crochet myself a custom neon one of those lanyards with ALTA on one side and my phone number on the other side but I've been too busy putting together my love bead necklaces and hemp fiber doilies for our Alta Owners ride to get to it...

I hear you on that and it is not a trivial matter. From what I've seen here you Alta guys are doing all that you can, and want to do more, its your baby after all. And I gotta say, you guys designed and built some amazing machines, you should all be proud of what you accomplished. I'm...

Yes! In my rush to get up to the riding area I couldn't find a lanyard of any color or size. We used to have a bunch of them in the drawers but I'm thinking I must have purged them in the move last year. I'll pick up a brightly colored one and do what you're doing there. Will still be looking...

The BC terrain is too hard core! Lol. Just kidding, the riding there is epic, that is a great idea. Summerland, '06. I'll just wheelie over this little creek...ah nope, ha ha. Almost kissed the fender, but stayed on the bike!

Revised info: I got spare keys cut for my ''18 Alta MXR and they work fine. The key blanks used are: ilco 1611R

Regarding getting some support, or access to whatever we may need to keep these bikes going well into the future, is anyone actively working any contacts they may have to see if we can get what we need? I would think a reasonable accommodation could be reached if we could negotiate with the...

Yes! And I've been thinking about putting together the "First Annual PacNW Alta Spring Opener" since I got my MXR! But I'm kinda lazy. But I will have to knuckle down and put something together. I'll start another thread and we'll pick somewhere to ride, no shortage of amazing riding up here...

Thanks, the puggerino is the best. And yes, no problem sharing the pics, here's the link back to my smugmug site you can use, no additional permissions or whatever needed from that site: https://photos.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/2018-Alta-MXR/i-n83hrxp/0/d5d889de/M/IMG_4187-M.jpg There are some...

My guess is that they are evaluating where they can use the Alta tech and they don’t want to put that technology out in the public domain for their competitors to get their hands on. The software, battery tech, controllers, circuit boards, I’m sure they think giving it to us, or some...

Yes, easily, and I’ve owned a number of really nice, well setup dirt bikes over the years. Can’t wait to put more miles on it , I can see there’s lots more potential as I figure out how to take advantage of it. It really is a whole different experience and I much prefer it over ICE bikes. And...
