Thanks to all - I will use what I can to put together a dealer list, but most of the links require a zip, city/state, or don't display all the dealers (one doesn't even list the dealer in Green Bay where I bought my bike). The GPS was a good idea, but my GPS is maybe 4 years old and not updateable. I keep using it because it has an audio jack for earbuds. One day I'll go Bluetooth... I'm not an ex-HD owner - thought about it but couldn't bring myself to spend the extra 10 grand or so to get a Harley similar to the RSTD. Just wanted a smooth and reliable ride. Really, I don't expect any problems (unless you consider a sore butt a problem), just trying to be prepared. Battery/tires ok, getting a routine tune-up before I leave, just put on a new lower Clearview shield (I'm short and look thru the stock shield, not fun in the rain). I'm happy to post pictures if you're interested, and if you have any advice on surviving a two week cruise let me know. Thanks for the offers of assistance if needed - if I meet any of you I hope it's not under those circumstances!!!

States are: Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, and back to Wisconsin. Major stops are: Montrose CO, Arches National Park UT, Dinosaur National Monument CO, Yellowstone National Park WY, Glacier National Park MT, plus whatever 'amazing' ride I hear about along the way. Route is subject to change without notice - complete freedom for 16 days.

All the threads regarding Yamaha dealers are in the "Watering Hole" forum, so here goes... In a couple of weeks I'm taking a bike trip through 11 states and wanted to take a list of Yamaha dealers in those states with me 'just in case'. Does anyone know of a website that lists Yamaha dealers by state? I don't care if I have to cut & paste each state into a 'master list'. The problem I'm having is that the sites I've been to require a zip, or city, or only list 'featured dealers' etc... and others just list links to the individual dealer's web site. I only need name, address and phone number in case of emergency, which seems like such a simple thing... Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that Saddlemen.

Hey all, hope I posted this in the right place... I've got a 2 week cruise coming up in September and I ordered the stock Yamaha luggage rack for my 08 RSTD, looking to mount a sissy bar bag for some extra storage. I'm mainly looking to move the odds-n-ends I carry in my bags to the rack - you know shield cleaner, rain suit, gloves, etc... I've been looking at VikingBags, Tourmaster, Saddleman (and others) and they all have decent-looking bags, but the stock rack isn't flat - it's straight for about 6 in. then it angles up for maybe 3 in. more. So the bags with hard, flat bottoms won't sit flush on the rack. I'm wondering if a round bag such as the Tourmaster Select Sissy Bar bag would work better. And some of these bags don't seem to have much options regarding mounting. So question is: anybody got a recommendation on a good bag for mounting on an 08 RSTD stock luggage rack? Be nice if it was big enough to hold an XXL full face helmet as well as the odds-n-ends listed above, but not Wingebago size.
