I do carry a spare and highlift jack as well as a scissor jack, as most of our trips are backpacking thru the UP of Michigan. And in a bag in the spare I carry tire plug kit and air pump. It under the back seat I have 3 ammo boxes that fit great, 1 with basic tools, 1 with tow ropes and 1 with...

I started my sound improvement on my ADV (not Northstar) with the HMF dual muffler which I think definitely helped. I will be installing the ResoNix sound kit next. I will pass on my results.

Let me know when this is available. CW

That box is pretty nice, I did something similar only using 3 ammo boxes and made an aluminum frame to keep them in place.

Just got back from a great trip backpacking thru the western UP of Michigan on our ADV5. Put on 570 miles on in 7 days of riding. The ADV was everything I hoped for and handled better than I expected for being loaded with gear etc.

Yes. The 6-1 offset on Sedona Sano beadlock wheels. Don’t know how many turns but cranked them down like an 1 1/2”.

I’m running 33” System 3’s (XCR 350) with no rubbing but did have the springs cranked down some.

Here is a little storage idea I came up with. Ammo Boxes fit rather nicely under the rear seat.

I use wheel bonnets and loose safety chains front and back. I don’t like to tie it down against the suspension.

Here’s what I did, just drilled down through the roof into the sheet metal above the windshield. Made a couple bushings and ran a bolt thru it. Way solid now, just gotta paint bolts and washers.

I added grab handle above the door, drilled holes and put in a couple rivnuts

Traded in my General 4 to a ADV5, we are from Iowa but love the UP of Michigan in the summer and winter. We recently retired and ready to do some Xploring with our new rig when we’re not hitting a rock concert.
