    Shoei vs. Scorpion

    My wife and son like the Shoei, I choose the Scorpion. I can't see much difference. The Scorpion fits me better and for the price difference it's a no brainer. :rolleyes:

    Russell December Group Buy

    Got the seat back today. They seem to have lowered it about an inch. Every little bit helps with my short stature. It's still taller than stock, but hey, it's an all day'r ! Believe I'll keep it.

    Russell December Group Buy

    Well not quite.... I spoke with Russell today about mine putting me on my tiptoes. They suggested that it would settle about 1/2" in 1k miles, but that's nowhere near enough for my short legs (28"). I've laid too many bikes down by not having enough foot on the ground. He said they go for...

    Russell December Group Buy

    107 miles and I must admit it's a comfortable seat! Why, I could ride that all day long! Can't wait for summer so I can do just that. Unfortunately, my feet didn't get any closer to the ground. I do not like tiptoeing. Not sure what I'll do about that, shorter shock? I'll probably email...

    Russell December Group Buy

    I'm still waiting for mine (build date Jan 23) and with my 29 inch inseam, I wonder how it will work out. I made notes on my order form about my short inseam, but it seems like one can not get this seat made for short people. Could you tell me your inseam and how the seat is working for you...

    Feedback on paint code

    Just picked up my saddle bag from the paint shop who repaired the scratches and recoated the bag from my dropping it in the parking lot. The paint code that is given in the FAQ section is incredibly accurate for the 06 model and I just wanted to let others know. I'm a picky B.......d, and a...

    Question about shock interchangable & lowering link

    Does anyone know if the stock rear shock from an '04 interchanges with the '06? I have an '06 I'd like to lower and have opportunity to buy an '04 shock with spacers along with the dogbone to lower my bike, but I'm wondering if there was a difference in shocks from these years? Hoping some...

    Is Y.E.S. worth it?

    Recently bought an '06, slightly used, and am considering the YES. I normally don't purchase additional insurance on items I buy, thinking that once an item out lives it's factory warrenty, it's a keeper anyway. What's your experience with these machines? And is the YES the same as the...
