Huge Christmas update!!!
First, a HUGE thank you to TownsendsFRJ1300!!!! Scott, you helped a ton - so thank you sir!!!!
So, Christmas came early for my bike (not for me, of course.....) and in the last couple of weeks I've added:
MotoCentric Bags (love these, see Page 1 and I had them on...
Hey Scott, thanks for this!!!! I used the KLR fix (zip ties - 2 on each side) - but, I'd prefer to do this correctly.
I had no idea about partzilla, but now love that site!
Thank you!
I'll update this thread once the new PR4's are on - and the luggage installed. Just in time for winter...
Hey, thanks for that link Raja!!! I still owe you a PM to take you on that ride up 226A - if you haven't done it - you'll love it.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, and yeah, what a difference it makes sitting up!!! Really, the RR wasn't that bad on my back (I did several 300 mile days on it), but my neck is a whole different story. I'm not tall - and don't have long arms - so to see straight I had to look up as far as...
I've commuted 70 miles round trip on a 600RR for the past year, and finally decided it's time to sit upright again - LOL. I'm 48 so the RR was my mid-life crises bike as I couldn't afford the typical vette....
