any chance you can park close to the front door in a yellow striped sort of slot? I suppose you could wheel it into the lobby and head for the elevator and then maybe they'd let you park it in the drive thru. I've not done a lot of motel parking where I wasn't parked right outside my room but...

I had to for my '08. simple job. easy and I didn't screw it up. I use my throttle rocker much more than my vista cruise but I'm glad to have the vc.

maybe you've found the true cost/value. sort of like putting your house up for sale and then having to lower the asking price until someone makes you an offer. you never know what it's worth until you get to that point....no matter what you ask for it. on the other hand maybe Ford is feeling...

I think Spencer did what he advertised. It just wasn't enough for me. It didn't get me close to having a bareable ride for 400 miles. I'm on an '08. I'm 6-1' and weigh 170. I have little ass muscle between my sit bones and the seat. I ended up trading the Spencer to another member and got...

keep us posted on this. I've had one partial season in '09 on mine. haven't tried to get it going this year, yet.

in a later post I noticed you are in Lev KS. I'm in Leawood KS, suburb of KCMO. I used a shop in North KC (North Kansas City Auto Trim) to redo my seat. I had a spencerized seat and many have said it did the trick for them. For me it didn't. I didn't need lower, just more area/sling for my...

I hope to find out soon. I've been out very little this winter. Not enough to give it the true test. Before winter I logged 2-3 hours on it max. I really need to give it the full day test to see if I got my money's worth or more than my money's worth. Wife got a new job starting 4/12 and...

Hey, first off, glad you are getting that new seat! Second, try pm-ing Gloryracing. He had some extra stuff for sale that he didn't want to move. I never saw his stock seat (which now has Spencer's mod in it) on his list of stuff to sell.

no knock on the work Spencer does. I believe he does what he says and many testify to an improvement that really helped. my butt needed even more help. I had the LD version done by Spencer and it helped me get about 90 minutes out of my seat time. for me that wasn't enough. I needed to be...

oil change even on the road is fairly easy. if you do decide to do it on the way home I'd ask D&H to lossen and then retighten the drain plug/bolt. I got mine home from D&H, did the change at 600 and needed a breaker bar to get the drain plug out. if you are on your second FJR you may already...

a lot of tough years and a lot of miles on his bmw, all over canada, us, mexico. great book, Ghost Rider.

you'd have been a bit better to slide up north to Lincoln, NE and catch I-80. Following the river west across NE is better than 400 miles of not much across KS. I live in KS and have found some beautiful parts but they don't exist along I-70, in my opinion. thanks for sharing the pictures!

I've only got the hf dolly. It's very convenient. I put a block under the sidestand so it is more upright. When I learned to move it around by pushing on the dolly with a foot, instead of pulling the handle bars and/or grab rail, it moves a whole lot easier. I'm satisfied with my <$100...

when you do your tire change do you plan to add 90 (or whatever is close to that) degree stems?

you are fitting it over the bottom bracket, right? If it is w/in the two top slots and over the bottom bracket and has the handle down (lock engaged) add the hitch pin for added security. when you drill for the hitch pin make sure you the top is securely engaged and not riding up any. You may...

very similar to the Bates I have and really like. never had a problem with the aggressive sole hanging me up.

I like my set up: olympia air glide mesh pants (best fit I found for when your inseam is longer than your waist is around) with sep waterproof thermal liner. Have a hein gehrke mesh jacket that also has a sep thermal waterproof liner. the jacket is grey and black the pants are black. The...

wouldn't that just freak you out to be on your scoot doing these roads and have that guy pass you? thanks for sharing!

With some research, some patience and a willingness to experiment perhaps you can come up with an alternative if you are trying to save $$ or can't ride across the country. I worked with an independent small upholstery shop here in KC and got great results. They used my stock seat and we...

have you looked at Bates? might be taller than 3/4 but they are shorter than my Rocky's.
