Yeah, i would attach it to something.
Thanks for the info.

As long as it is cover, it is fine. But use some straps to make sure it is tight around the bike, otherwise a strong wind may make the cover act like a parachute, and lift the bike, and it will fall over.

Ok, Thanks for the info.

I just tracked my cross-bar order. Tracking indicated that it arrived at a US Airport on the 30th at 5:59. I guess it should show up this week. Will keep you posted.

I just received a USPS update that I have a DHL Ecommerce item just now arriving at the DHL center in MABLETON, GA. Maybe that is my Motowolf crossbars? I can't think of anything else that I ordered recently, but I can't remember Motowolf shipping using DHL in the past, so it is still a puzzle. As far as I know, I still didn't get a shipping notice from Motowolf.. Whatever it is, I think it will arrive here by the end of the week.

Mine arrived at the Monroe Township sorting center (no idea where that is) yesterday at 2:20

I think Monroe Township is also a DHL ecommerce sorting station as well, apparently in East Windsor, NJ, so that gives me more hope.

Well, hopefully we will get them by the end of the week.
I was supposed to have a front basket delivered today. That didn't happen.

MY bar just showed up.

Nothing here yet.. still showing mine are in Georgia. Once they get to Jacksonville, Florida, I usually get them the next day.

Good for you.
Motowolf is a lot better than the ones I tried before. And way easier to install.

Hey fellas
Put a bunch of miles on the bike the last 3 days. 70 or 80 on Tues. Mostly dirt roads in Northern PA.
After that ride, I had a severe case of plank ass!
You guys recommend the Diablo V! or V2?
Thanks for the info

I picked up a different handle bar brace and used it to test fit some handlebar bags as I have another long trip planned and want to keep some small items handy.
Dirtfreak ZETA Adjustable Mounting Bar
Part Number: ZE60-1000

I prefer it to the Kitaco brace that I posted about earlier in this thread because it uses spacers to maintain the same thickness for the full length of the bar. It was easier to install to a level position since there were less microadjustments to be made. The adjustability is limited in how high or low you can mount the brace as you need the bar to be longer for a higher position and shorter for a lower position, and the length is not adjustable to a fine degree, it is adjusted by how many spacers you add. There are two single width spacers, and one double width spacer included. There are cable management retainers integrated in the outside of the bar clamps which are a nice feature but if you're running Barkbusters or other hand guards or attachments around that area of the bars they will likely be in the way of running the cables through those retainers without having the cables make a sharp turn. Flexible resin collars are included to go inside the clamps to prevent scratching the bars. I'd prefer if the bar brace wasn't branded, but the "ZETA" text isn't too obnoxious.



After mocking up a few different handlebar bags I decided on a Flagship handlebar bag that actually fits best without using a handlebar brace, so I removed the ZETA brace. Will likely keep it on hand in case I want to change things around later on or try fitting it to a different bike.
