Hey Tx123, can you offer us curious folk what you would have told the Russel company when they made that one for you?
Can you tell us {in pounds) what the front seat was designed / foamed for ?
I recall that Russel, and other companies usually ask about your weight, how often / long you...
Hope that bootiful mount went to a good home, where she'll be ridden long & hard, then cleaned up and tucked back in for a rest now and then.
;)
Rust never sleeps...
I spent > 7 years on a well kept Gen1 (2004), and had virtually no trouble with her ; added > 120,000 Kms to her clock while riding rain or shine throughout the Pacific Northwest.
GLWS !
Sorry to learn you've had some issue with broken mounts (!).
In full transparency, I hesitated to buy one for my own Gen3 due to a similar concern that breakage of any of the fairing-connected points could happen eventually (under heat + vibration stress). This was not a concern for the shelf...
Just jumping in here to offer a plug for a California company I had some interaction with in 2018, then late in 2020 - on the topic of buying a dash shelf.
Scott ([email protected]) offered me a link to some DropBox pics that still appears...
Geez, I used to ride a Gen1 (2004) of that same colour.
Please gift us with a pic or three, as some of us are curious what a Gen2 looked like in that hue.
