In the near future you can add Race Tech to the list of shock suppliers. It is my understanding they are currently working throughthe rebuilding your shocks vs building a new shock exercise. In either case it will be built your way, and to your imagination. Per the guys at Taxxion Dynamics Penske ap...

Met an older guy at the dealer today who was thinking about getting rid of his R1150RT, and purchasing an R1200R w/ a Hannigan Fairing because his RT is becoming too heavy for him. hmmm

Now this is option might be worth having. Providing I could get my head and wallet around it's cost. But, one day I will run out of farkles to buy.... As a nakid rider who mostly commutes (70%) I really don't have a need to be able to go long distances at 90+, or at the lowest possible RPM; but gett...

I had this exact problem. Wait until you turn the key and not power, no nothing and you move you steering bars and the bike/ignition powers up :D btw....I was Never stranded Search for my post titled "Replacement Antenna Key Ring...Failure??" to see my trials and tribulations, and the len...

Finally gave in and ordered a pair of Wilbers. Still need, and investigating a hugger, probably going CF.

I like 5,000 miles as in....10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 :D During my break-in I added added about 2,500 before switching to Syn.. a buddy of mine with an 1150R thinks 25,000+/-miles is the right number. When I had an Italian bike life was easier...we just use Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil.. Ran Gr...

Nope..An 09 GS Adventure, a C1200, and an 1150 RT..It was an all BMW ride.

A couple more ideas. Last couple of days the paper here have been runing headlines "feels Like 110" (must be slow news days) Typical temp per my hand-i-dandy BMW on board computer 91-94....humidity is dripping. I've been alternating between Boots, perf Re'it jacket, perf gloves, and a helm...
