  1. Few more mods and it will almost be like the Goldwing you sold. 🤣
  2. Driver with backrest, passenger seat and the passenger backrest was 2 grand. They are all heated. That is the going rate, it is expensive. Migjt want to look at Russell Day Long for custom work. Also expensive and the wait can be long but they are the best in the business for custom work. https://day-long.com/

    Amanda is a sweetheart that would never complain, and you are weird.
  4. Mustang. I have had good luck with them in the past.

    Don't know yet. Only sat on it for a few minutes. So far it feels much better. I will report back after I have a day on it. Yes, the 2018+ seats are bad. Really bad. Most every one replaces them. I had mine reworked. It was much better but not good enough.

    Well, my new seat just arrived. If my tires are not ready which means I can't sit on my new seat I will be pissed.

    They have had my tires since Monday. They are down a person in the shop but dang it's only 2 tires.

    You can ride bitch on the Wing any time! Seaking of tires, when I dropped them off at Sills there was a stack of track tires to be mounted. Unfortunately they were not yours. Was hoping to rub my on remaining nut on them like I did the last time.

    See, I felt I was going slower too. I don't mind since I am not stuck behind me. But slower shouldn't wear a tire out faster.

    Yea, I need two bikes but last time I tried that it didn't end well.

    Same tires. Only two explanations fit. I got a bad front tire, which I really doubt or I am riding differently. @Pauly Notice any major changes on the way I have been riding?

    That makes sense, I certainly push it and am front brakes all the time. However, I don't believe my riding style has changed that much. Maybe I have not noticed it.

    To be clear. He used to get 2 rears to 1 front on the wing. Using the same tires it had now reversed? Just out of the blue?

    Nope, have put several sets on it. Interesting, over on the Wing forum many are reporting the same. I find it odd.

    Too late, they are at the dealer now. Wear patterns on both look totally normal.

    No trailer. I do put that "cooler rack" on the back for long trips but that is not very often.

    I always change my tires in pairs. The fronts are still good when I do that but not enough that I care to save a few dollars compared to the hassle of going to have them mounted twice. This time, the front is wore out and there is still some life in the rear. Not a ton, but quite a bit. I am a stickler for tire pressure, check it every ride. How did I wear the front out first. That has never happened on this bike, or any other bike that I can remember.
  18. Well, apparently today I wore my front tire out trying to lose this pesky BMW that was behind me. Got a 4200 mile trip coming up, back tire will be toast by the time that is done. Just pulled them both off and will take them to Sills first thing in the morning. Glad I always keep a pair around.
  19. Another option I just remembered. These are cheap and I have been told they work well. You set it by putting the long end against the brake lever. You just have to adjust it so the tension isn't too high so you can manually roll off the throttle. https://www.amazon.com/Go-Cruise-GC-A1BK-Universal-Throttle/dp/B00ERXG4TM/ref=pd_aw_ci_mcx_mh_ci_mcx_mr_bw_mh_m_andr_web_sspa_mw_detail_2?pd_rd_w=xRzMh&content-id=amzn1.sym.33b4a6f1-821a-4d36-a511-3308bbb704da&pf_rd_p=33b4a6f1-821a-4d36-a511-3308bbb704da&pf_rd_r=66VZHVV8SHRQP16PTMAD&pd_rd_wg=tjL8T&pd_rd_r=5aac32e9-681f-4a76-8463-2be365f94147&pd_rd_i=B00ERXG4TM
  20. They call those throttle locks. I believe Atlas makes one for that bike. https://www.atlasthrottlelock.com/
