I definitely think the headlight needs lowering, as well as all the gauges. It just sits up too high for my taste. I'm stripping the bike for paint soon and I may fabricate something new for the headlight to sit lower. I'll keep you posted.

Windshield was a Z Technik tall clear. I also put rockster bars on so it lowered my body a bit. I'm at the sweet spot so buffeting isn't bad at all. I also splurged for the dual remote thermostat and so glad I did. I zip tied it to my bars and was able to control my temps throughout the trip perfect...

Figure I'd post to let you guys know the bike was flawless. Rode my 2002 r1150r up to Maine from north New Jersey for Thanksgiving. Left Wed morn in pouring rain, low 40's f.

Not sure how well it'll hold up but it was easy enough to strip her down to try another clearcoat. Removing the...

Just wanted to drop a quick hello. This is the first site I came to when I bought my bike (2002 r1150r) and have already learned so much. Thank you to all contributors. Had my bike for 2 weeks now and couldn't sit still. I started wanting to mod little things but kept unbolting and unscrewing until ...
