    Getting a seat without a ride in

    I did the BMS mail in recently during the group buy and have nothing but good things to say about it. Remember you only get the Evolution seat if you are BIG enough...Lots of recent comments about the BMS seat in the group buys section...Good luck!

    Bill Mayer Saddle GROUP BUY

    I received my seat on Tuesday and went for a 500 mile jaunt yesterday with the nice weather. Stopped in WI for dinner and drinks with my brother and a nice ride with him and then headed home. Normally for me a 60 mile ride to work brings on the butt pain. With the new seat this is no longer...

    Klim Dakar Pants

    Does anyone have any experience with Klims Dakar pants? Are they oriented for dirtbike use only or would they be acceptable as street gear? The web site lists them as having 1800 Denier Ballistic cordura in the seat, 1000 in the knees and 420 in the shell and mentions Armortex with kevlar...

    Bill Mayer Saddle GROUP BUY

    I just shipped my seat to BMS. Maybe the 9 inches of snow we are supposed to get today will make the waiting easier :angry: Thanks for setting this group buy up :clapping:

    Bill Mayer Saddle GROUP BUY

    I just got the OK from the wife on this one and I am in for a dual basketweave vinyl. Just need to get the photos taken and send it in. I will be calling BMS tomorrow to confirm as they are closed now. That should make number 12.

    8000 mile service at dealer

    NO this did not include the cost of the tires. That was about another $250.00. It did include the cost of the oil, filter etc. I'm still pissed about it! However now I know better and will never enter this craphole again!

    8000 mile service at dealer

    I decided I would have the 8000 mile service done at the local dealer while I had new front and rear tires put on the bike. They charged me $468.00 for the tire install and the service which is basically an oil change and looking things over. This just sounds OUTRAGEOUS to me! Is it in any...

    The bike likes to go left

    My 06 loves to go left also if I let go of the bars. Have to use body english to make it go straight when I'm not hangin' on!

    Terrible Headshake and the solution

    This has been discussed several times before. My 06 also developed this as time went on and it grew worse over time. I have about 8000 miles on the bike and tires. I had the steering head tightened as the dealer said it was a little bit loose. This had no effect on the problem and it...

    MPH

    According to my GPS my 06 reads about 5 MPH too fast from around 60-80 and the error increases after 80 to 10MPH too fast at speeds over 100.

    Which screen is best for short ...5 foot 6 inch rider.

    I am about 5'8" tall and just put the Cee Bailey +4 +4 on. I like to sit up straight and in the lowered position the wind hits me just above the collar bones. I am still looking way over the windshield. If I raise it up a few inches it gets very quiet but I still get some wind on the top of...
