I too just did my first complete major service on my R. Bought myself all the needed kit and nice to have stuff (lift, tire changer, GS911 and Twin Max) as a retirement gift to myself. The DIY section over on the MOA is very helpful. Takes you thru every procedure in easy to follow steps. (includes ...

Lucky man, but I thought Summer is Winter in SF.

It can take as much as 2000 miles for the seat to adjust to you. Corbin tends to use a stiffer foam than most, although I read s...
