I got my vote in again today (Monday), so the contest must still be open!

Hi, Chris! It looks like I am leaning towards selling the whole bike because of seating/comfort issues, but I haven't come to a final decision. So, if that is the case, I'm not going to bother with swapping out the exhaust. I can see why you might want to go this direction. The Two Brothers really m...

Thanks for the tip about moving the seat support! I moved it as far back as I could. I have found a significant change in my riding position, but still not quite enough to deal with my large size. If I worked with a custom seat guy I could probably get it to a point where it would be acceptable, but...

That has been my experience too! (24 hours)

I have no idea what I have gotten myself into buying an 1100R without ever having ridden one. If it doesn't work out, I probably will go back to an F650gs Single. But if it isn't too muc...

No promises, cause I have no idea if I am going to dislike the "Two Brothers" exhaust that is on the R1100RL that I am supposed to be getting this week. I have a tendency to want to keep the bike stock, and my neighbors have always appreciated my quiet bike. If you are interested (and ever...

Haven't been active on this board but mainly because I was riding an F650GS Twin. I'm having to change/slow down my riding style a bit and have purchased a 2001 R1100RL to keep me in the game. I really enjoyed making my F650gs "my own" and now will do a little of the same to this bike (I'v...

And Another for the Lover's!

Hey, who doesn't like a good Love Story!
