I'm 6'2" also. Its not the dimensions at the chest, its the diameter a little lower above the belt that concerns me. :buds

Just happened to read gbtinc's profile,yesterday was his first post and today is his birthday. Have a great day Geoff and welcome to the forum. Your B'day gift from all of us is in the mail :newtoy...
The old plug popped out rather easily (with light use of the hammer slide) and the new reed valve tapped in just as easily. Mission complete. I wish I had known about the old plug removal procedure...
Well, finally found the time and resources to work on the bike. No major surprises except the swing arm lock nut on one side was really torqued down. Took a big 18" breaker bar to free it up. One...
[QUOTE=barryg]The reed valve sets on it's on round aluminum housing(plug) . The part # 11 11 1 335 712 shows that being 3 parts. The round aluminum housing, the reed valve, and the screw to hold the...
Not to dump on Hybrids or to change the subject, but I just heard (from a recent buyer) that if you use your AC or heater the hybrids must use engine not the battery. Must suck if you use either a...
We are talking the same thing. There is a three hole item (plug) that the post sits in. My question was does this three hole plug come out to facilitate the new reed valve. From your discription,...
The post was no problem, it popped out with a pull of the pliers. The original valve disk is about 1/32 thick. The reed valve is probably around 1/4 in thick. Although the new valve "fits" in the...
I've read in several articles that the old style crankcase breather valve (R90/6)can be (should be) replaced with the newer style reed valve. I have not read anywhere how this is done. I can see...
I found unplugging and replugging the rear light wiring harness (near the battery on the left side) several times and spraying with WD 40 help cut through some of the oxidation. Dad always said to...
If you folks want to take a look at a site that is as passionate aboput illegal Immegrtation issues as we are about our Beemers, take a look at WWW.Vdare.com. Most Interesting.

I can't imagine what it feels like to ride that fiast. What impresses me even more are those GP dudes hitting those speeds in a very (relative) confined space. Let's make it a "Kompressor" model...
When you have more than one in the garage, you need to be able to differentiate. I've named all my bikes, based on their unique character; the Blue one, the Red one; the White one and the old Blue...

Thought the add was a little misleading. They even pictured two up on the bike.

Saw an andvertisement in the new ON mag stating the Gas milage for the new 1200RT was 60+ MPG. That sounds pretty good. What are real folks getting?

Haven't seen 1492 either. I go to Mexico about twice a year. I'll spend more time looking next time. Muchas gracias

Boy, to much "me Generation". This thread needs a Zen moment. Love me, love my imperfections. Now repeat after me. OOMMM.

The internet market place is a great place to find parts. Try the Airhead category and Parts for sale.

A??ejo (aged/mature) is real good. Reposado (Rested) is also good and a little cheaper. The aged is real smooth, but loses some of the agava flavor. I'm drinking Reposado. Never heard of 1942. Is...
Just a double shot of Don Julio. No salt, no lime, just puro agave azul! :dance
I have removed the forks with the fairing on, but you will want to take the fairing off when you get to steering bearing. Just makes it easier. Wow, that much effort to get the fork caps off. You...
Not so fast. Had a talk with my insurance broker (for Dairyland). What you pay "your" insurance company has nothing to do with what you can expect from the other guys insurance company. Don't want...
