all- first, sorry for another 'stich post... but i searched and did not see my issue addressed, so i hope those with experience can help sort me out. i'd really like to begin commuting more with my bike. i live in san diego, and it does actually get cold in the mornings and evenings. i'm currently u...

okay, so i'll add my own dimwit question: is there a link to an instruction on how to bleed these lines? i finally got the gs handguards installed tonight. thanks in advance.
best regards,
pat

p-jensen-
many thanks. i appreciate the insight.
best regards,
pat

rick- thanks for the feedback. as usual, a very creative solution. my r1150r throttlemeister is still in the box, so i'm pretty sure i can return it to the dealer and get an exchange for the gs-specific model. so...i'm still looking for the definitive answer to the question, although i'm pretty sure...

all- i have searched the discussions around handguard installation but can not find the definitive answer: when installing gs handguards and throttlemeister on the r1150r, does the throttlemeister have to be gs-specific, or can it be the one designed for the 'r'? as always, i am grateful for your fe...

buckster- great pictures; many thanks. that looks like the mounting bracket on my windshield. parabellum wants to charge $49 for the nuts/bolts needed to connect to the bike. looks like you have removed the black fringe around the bottom of the screen. any reason other than cosmetics? thanks again, ...

buckster-
thanks. that looks like the screen i have. any chance you could snap a photo of the mounting hardware? i've sent an e-mail to parabellum, but have not received a reply yet. their website does not have the views that i need.

my dealer recently gave me a windshield and i believe it is a parabellum. does anyone have pictures of how it mounts and the associated hardware? the hardware/holes on the windshield do not line up with the stock windscreen mounts.
thanks in advance,

just received my widder vest and am looking to shorten the learning curve. has anyone come up with a neat/tidy way to mount the rather bulky, sharp-cornered temp-controller for the widder devices? i'm thinking a velcro patch low on the gas tank. what say you?
thanks in advance,
pat

james-
i won the bidding. if it does not work out, i'll let you know. thanks for the offer.

gak! where were you yesterday before i bid on the one on ebay? i'll let you know tomorrow whether i'm successful or not.
best,
pat

all-
thanks for all the feedback. unfortunately, i've tried all the sources providedk, as well as a few others, and everyone is sold out. does anyone have any other leads, to include your local shops/dealers, that i could call? thanks in advance.
best regards,
pat

mikecam- thanks for the feedback. i was contmplating sending them back and trying the 11s, but that just seems a bit too small. wish they had an 11.5. their information sheet says to try an insert to 'help a loose-fitting boot feel like it is custom made.' tried one of my orthotics last night and it...

has anyone tried these? received mine in the mail tonight. seem a bit large, although i do not think i can drop a full size, and no half size available. has anyone had any experience with how these break in?
thanks,
pat

all-
i've searched past threads and googled, but am struggling to find availability of the brake! led system. does anyone know of a current source? thanks in advance.
best regards,

looking for a high-vis vest to wear over my riding jacket. i'm most concerned with the ability to adjust so that it does not flap in the wind.
thanks,
