I took a 200 mile jaunt (round trip) this morning and I am pleased to report that the seat performed extremely well. I had been suffering from two things with the stock seat that seem to have all but disappeared now. After about 60-ish miles on the stock seat, my legs would start to cramp up (espec...

I think the entire Gulf Coast can be a challenging place to ride. In the New Orleans area we don't have the oldsters as you do, but we do have the heat and the BAD streets and bugs. OT a little. What is the best summer pants for our climates? I am looking for something that is cool, but protective....

Yes, you can retro fit your bike with the jumping post. It is an easy fix. I did it to my '02 without a problem. If you do a search, you can get the part numbers, I don't have the list anymore, I don't think. I'll double check, and if I do, I'll post them. It costs somewhere around $50 for all of th...

Hi everyone! I'm obviously new here. I've tried the search engine for my query but couldn't find an answer. Can anyone tell me where on the r 1150 r I can find the year it was manufactured (model year)? The seller says it's a 2002 model and I just want to make sure it is. Thanks a lot for the help....

...I’m wondering why would a guy say something like that and make a big scene out of it? Two words : Clueless and Insensitive We're not all like that :wink: I agree. The reason that I started riding was because a couple of friends of mine sort of talked me into it. They were both female ride...

Yeah it is!

It's a photoshop? He's a lot taller than that isn't he?

Who is it or is it supposed to be?

I know of at least two, yours and mine. Other than that, sorry, can't help.

I am extremely satisfied with my Rick Mayer seat. Good build quality, excellent materials, very comfy. On my other bike I had a Russel, also very nice, but about twice the cost. For the money, the Rick Mayer is a much much better deal. For even money, it would be close. Rick's dad is the one that de...

One word:
Ohlins.

Michael, I had a Russell on my RT, loved it greatly, long, long rides were no problem. I have a Rick Mayer on my '50R, just got back from a 3 day, 1200 mile trip, no problems here, either. I would highly recomend either one, the Mayer being about half the cost of a Russell. I have the rear, metalize...

Congrats on the new ride! You will keep that smile for miles to come!

I sent them to JetHot Coatings. JetHot stripped the chrome and refinished them in a "sterling" ceramic coating (inside and out) good to 1300 degrees. My headers came back with a warning that if stationary high rpm tuning was necessary, a fan should be used to prevent overheating (and dull...

It's clear what I need... but I don't follow the bit about Keith Haynes! Is he the name behind one of the two web links above?

He is the one that makes the center cap for the rear wheel, and is also a member of this db.

They make shields and other wind management goodies.

Yes.

Has anyone tried these? Or use them? I was wondering if they work even close to the claim. Looks like a good idea, though.

With these and the lower deflectors, you can be even closer to an RT-lite!

I do realize that the front brake pads are not tight against the rotor when no brake pressure is applied, however, should they be so loose as to make a rattling noise while riding? I have been hearing this for a couple of weeks now, at first couldn't pinpoint the noise. It is the front brake pads. T...

Perhaps a broken wire going to the rear blinker on that side?

I have just bought some of these and they are excellent and look good too. http://tinyurl.co.uk/xg5r Mike[/img] I recently got some virtually identical to those, from Twisted Throttle. It appears that they are about $180? Is that US$? I got them for about $90US. They look good and work as well as t...

I don't, I just ride mine!
