Some don't like to ride very far with more than three motorcycles along. I don't mind a fairly short weekend trip, with 8, or 10, others, but going on a excursion type trip, I like, maybe 2 Riders along. The Ideal situation is one other 2up couple. We thoughly enjoy going on a fairly long trip with our daughter & husband. When there's a lotta riders, there's always, someone needing to stop on an unplanned stop, & more(wink). The mere decision of where to eat, constitutes frustation, if you are not careful, eh! BUt when we go to Hot Springs 125 miles, and or Jefferson, 75 miles, It is really fun when theres a pack of us. I like riding last to observe the bikes going into the curves up in single files, ahead. (BJAY) 'Ya'll take care'' --BJAY--

http://www.ibmwr.org is the big one. I have the peg lowering kit, brake lever lowering kit and the shift lever lowering kit from Monika Verholen in the Fatherland. http://www.verholen.de/ (link for english is on the lower right PAge) http://www.bmwrt.com/faq/pegrests.htm They ship to the USA. Everything lines up nicely, excellent machining. You get what you pay for. I don't know if they make the shift/brake lever lowering kits anymore, you may want to email and ask them. MV makes floorboards for the 1200C only, Ilium makes them for the other models. If you can find the MV brake/shift lever lowering kits that might help with the Ilium boards. Mine setup is wunnerful with the pegs and i use the pegs actively when i ride. imo, floorboards while supposedly comfortable aren't for sportbikes if you use any weighting techniques (feet/knees) in your riding. I was never that knocked out with the floorboards on the HD FLHRCI. I do have a set of adjustable forward pegs on the RT.
‘‘Damn, I have to bring my FLHT to the shop, I got screwed. Mine does not vibrate anymore then a metric bike. It should be covered under warranty I hope. Or maybe its an after market part - the vibration I mean?’’ Morgan ‘‘Morgan, so you owned a metric before that ole Harley, unnHuh? Say, do you like riding with a Bunch down the byways of Texas? I take you to be the point rider, when riding in a big ole' Harley group uh' friends’’ (BJAY)
I didnt realize how nice it was to be able to move your feet and legs about that VStar compared to the R1100RT. You are really locked in once position on that BMW.’’ (Beemer Biker) ‘‘Beemer,good gawd, whine whine whine ,Kwitcherbellyachin'....’’ (Another Viewer) ‘‘Bellyachin'’’ shoot where'd you get that? Come on, make a moto contribution here, AV? I bet you are a group riding son of a gun. the More the merrier, uhhhuh’’ (BJAY)

If it falls off and the bike keeps going, it wasn't needed in the first place.
If your '03 Harley is leaking oil, look to the mechanic. Do you wrench your own ride? You might want to reconsider.
