Here's a few easy and inexpensive upgrades I do to all of my trailers, which I use to haul my dual sport motorcycles in:
- Coiled tether for the breakaway switch for the brakes
- Jack Caddy to stow the cord and chains on when the trailer is not in use
- Small hitch pin clips on the safety chain hooks (so I can easily adjust the length of the chains)

I've outlined the upgrades in a video on my other channel: https://youtu.be/RXnFg7vXA5c

Here's a new USB charging port kit for the DR-Z4S / SM.

I like that it has a boot at the bottom, unlike other aftermarket USB style charging ports that leave the wiring connectors exposed. I bought one from the same company (Amazon seller) for one of my other dual sport bike sand like that it's plug and play to the OEM wiring behind the headlight

On my 2025 DR-Z4S, there's ZERO clearance issues when installing the IMS 3.3 gallon fuel tank and Emperor Racing radiator guards. This is likely the case with other radiator guards too, but so far I've only seen one other brand, which look identical to the ones from Emperor Racing.

Here's an interesting video from last year that details how I got interested in Dual Sport riding:

I found a new garage decoration on eBay. If you know, you know.

Tonight’s project is mirror upgrade and parts inventory! I need to order a few more piece parts (hardware) so I can swap my assortment of Doubletake mirrors between my fleet of dual sport bikes.

I may sell one of the 3 sets I have. Not sure on that yet.

The ball snapped off flush with the clutch perch on my old DRZ sometime early in the riding season.

Everyone needs a giant TV in your moto shop. Any guesses which moto content creator I’m watching?

I'm probably the first one to get signed up for the 2026 Touratech Rally. I set my alarm for 11:55pm and waited until the clocked ticked over to 12:00am when tickets went on sale. Voila, I'm registered!
