She's gone...to a new and extatic owner who just 'had to have her'...and I am once more free to pursue the next seductress... Thank you all for any advice, hints, tips....this has by far been the best site for answers, reliable opinions, and cheeky comments! I'll keep dropping in to see how things a...

I have a left 'city lid' in perfect condition...on the 'for sale' board...if anyone want is to try it out, or to match a right lid...

(has the emblem and reflector already on it...)

Check the Buy/Sell/Trade board if you are interested...

Thanks for the close up!....I like the look of the bikeand the bars...and would love to get on it to see how the body position feels...

I'd need two rocksters though...my current original, and then one to go crazy customizing and experimenting with!

So many great ideas on this site!

I have both the tall and short BMW seat, as I'm in between both (5'7")...and I don't find any real discomfort with either...Just got off my bike an hour ago...300km day, on the tall seat, and it really seems to put me up in the 'cleaner air'...above any buffetting, etc...so I'm starting to pref...

THANK YOU ALL!!

I promise to never again post '3 in a row'...but it worked, and if you want , you can now look at pics of a June Bike trip to Crater Lake and N California I took...it was the 'test album'....

You are all very patient, and thanks again for the input and help...

No, no Mac...just a PC...

I'm just better with a wrench than a keyboard and screen....(and throwing the wrench at the screen never seems to help either)!

Thanks for all the advice...I'll keep trying...

Ug...Parking lot at Argyle Motorsports in +35 degrees!!...facing South, and sheltered...must have been more like +45!!...you poor, poor bastard...

Keith

OK...I set up an account...and have loaded a few pics on it...

Just came back from an afternoon highway ride.....ticking all the way ...embrace it, get used to it...as I think it's just some strange german engineer's idea of a fun way to drive us all crazy figuring out what it may be...!

Thanks for the reply Marku...that works for web pics, but I was trying to figure out how to just attach or show a picture from my camera or computer file...am I confused here? PS....How did the Laminar Lip work??...did it keep the heat back when going to the Indy car races in Edmonton...(do tell me ...

Can someone let me know how to add pictures onto my posts...I don't see an 'attach' button here...

Thanks,

That's a 'Laminar Lip' screen...and Marku just got one, so I'm also wating to hear how he likes it...as I'd like to try one...I have the BMW screen, but do not use it, as it creates even more noise, and I have got used to the air without it...for me it's more about noise...if it is quiter than the o...

That one made me laugh!!

The chopped tail looks great!

Try 'Albrta Wheel Repair and Restoration' in Calgary for wheel quotes...they do motorcycle wheels...(295-0065)...and Top Gun Coatings for powdercoat, as they will do 'small' jobs, where most powdercoat places won't.....(but the wheel guys can best advise wheel colorings/coatings...our wheels have ki...

I'll watch for you in the area....what color??

I have never heard of this happening...UNTIL....a rock jumped up while I was riding a short (500ft) section of gravel at some road work..and jammed itself between my swingarm and rim!...The wheel now has a 1/4" 'racing stripe' where the rock cut off the paint/undercoat right to metal! I did cat...
