God Bless that you are thinking about another bike at age 79. I don't know the Stelvio's weight either, but I do own both the Stelvio (09) and a Vstrom. I have both equiped as you mention- all the accessories- highway bars, bags, centerstands and top boxes, which are the heavier accessories. I...

Thanks for the replies. How easy is it to remove these products such a Hylomar? I don't know if the factory uses anything or not, but the old gasket seemed to come of in 1 to 2 inch pieces. I had to do some mild scraping, but I was afraid to gouge the surfaces.
