Re: F800S DEMO
Oooohhhhhh...Mrs. Sweatmark likey.... Yes! Test ride will tell...being the safety fanatic that I am, definitely need to see if I would hang out in the "red zone" while riding. Adding 15# in that position may find my head resting on the tank for relief on long roadtrips... Ergos aside, I LO...

Re: Earplug Preference: Anyone tried Cabela's moldables?
SunBeemer ~ I attended a hearing conservation conference recently (by EAR). Be very choosy about the custom molded plugs -- many of them don't go far enough into the outer ear canal to effectively attenuate the noise as they indicate. In the world of safety, authorities suggest cutting the NRR in ha...

DJ -- I am green with envy that you are riding now!!!! It is a sloppy wet mess here in Oregon right now. Sweatmark and I are considering a trip to New Zealand next year with our riding companions -- any chance you would be available??? Perhaps we should consider Australia instead? Leave Feb 2009 ope...

Pre-load adjuster blow-out! We recently purchased an Ohlins rear shock from another Roadster member (slightly used) which exhibited the same symptoms. Increasing pre-load produced oil drips with a slight increase in pre-load adjuster knob tension. I just picked up the repaired shock from our local O...

Just Beeming -- I figured I almost spent 200 bucks on the AirHawk; the seat re-do was a FANTASTIC deal for permanent solution. I figured I am in it for the long haul with this bike....I really love it! DragonMojo -- As far as NorCal goes -- We are heading down to Yreka (via Hwy 3, Hwy 96, and maybe ...

DJ (I'm sure he'll chime in on this) had a custom foot made up that looks really nice. I'll bet he could have them made and sell them! ...Installing an angle bracket on the case looks better, and but I didn't want to mess with the case. It gets pretty drippy here in Oregon. I do like DJ's option of...

Full-Size Left Case Installation
Just completed the installation of both the Ohlins rear shock and full size left system case hardware installation. Very simple for both. A search thru the Board would show that several alternatives for mounting a full-size left-side system case (R1100/1150RT) for Roadsters/Rocksters with either low...

Closed body position and static posture over a period of time are most likely culprits....DJs recommendation of stretching before starting out, and stopping frequently to stretch, is good.

Needless to say, Don says I will be able to hit at least 600 miles with very little butt angst...will be great to leave home ye...
