Re: Adding A Screen

I love my MRA adjustable screen and I have no buffeting issues with the screen up. Low setting is like no screen and that's where I keep it all summer. Mine is a little scratched now, but the Gecko came though with flying colors. http://images.craigslist.org/00O0O_hqRMxKdLJAb_600x450.jpg I am not su...

Re: Oops, Oh No & Ouch

Update. The Geico boys came out today and were very nice. One of them is a Street Glide owner/rider. I am supposed to get an offer Monday. We shall see the true color of the Gecko on Monday.

Re: Shad seat question

Thanks. It is not too bad for a stock seat then. Since I dropped the bike, (first in 40 years of riding) who knows if I will still have it, or if the insurance company will total it?

Oops, Oh No & Ouch

Well they say it is not if, but when you will tip one over. I had a slow speed accident today. Clamped the front brake too hard to avoid a rider ahead who stopped suddenly and slipped on some gravel. I guess I grabbed the front brake when the wheel was not straight. Now comes the Gecko and his adjus...

Re: Shad seat question

I also am getting older so I understand that well. I like my R1150R, but sometimes long for a heavy touring bike again. But I have no time to tour anyway so what the heck. Someday maybe a K1600GTL.

Re: Shad seat question

Interesting that the Sargent is not more comfortable than that. But, 40 years ago I could climb on a rigid frame with small solo seat and ride 3/400 miles in a day and be ready to party that night. Now I ride a 10X more comfortable bike and can go about half the distance. Maybe I have a 200 mile but...

Shad seat question

I have a 2003 R1150R. The seat is not too bad but like everyone I am looking for that magic EZ Boy on wheels. My question is, the seat on my bike is marked Shad. That appears to be an aftermarket company that also made OEM stuff. So is this just a stock OEM seat or is it an aftermarket seat of some ...
