Current ride: 08 Uly
Location: Bay Area (California)
As seen here : http://palmerproducts.auto.officelive.com/buellxb12x.aspx

My kit has the tool-less adjustment and is minus the optional black coating. This kit gets rave reviews but alas it didn't solve the problem I had (helmet noise), so I'm continuing my experimentation elsewhere and now looking to sell this kit. The mounting tabs on the kit have a few scratches where I used a tool to adjust them for my screen (the tabs are designed to be bent for this purpose), but that aside the brackets are as sold and come with everything you need to fit, including tools. £58.50 new - I'm selling for £40 including postage. Please pm me if interested.

Would Digger feet reach? Looks a wee bit silly BUT is it comfy?

.... at a stretch, maybe. :D

I know I hated every moment of the ride on this heap, but I respect the wishes of others to catch insects up their trouserlegs if that's their thing.

Current ride: FUBAR...Enough said!
Location: Reading
Why didn't you like it Diggs? I rode one and laughed alot (seating position mainly) I wouldn't own one, but i wouldn't go as far as saying it was rubbish!! :)

I didn't say it was rubbish, just that I hated the ride. I can't feel safe or in control in that position, cornering was a hit & miss affair, and Digger Jnr was hanging on for dear life on the postage stamp pillion perch, enjoying it about as much...

I know I'd love a bobber one of these days, but I just have an issue with having my feet so far forward, I can't get any leverage into the bike through the pegs.

:yt: Tried a new v-rod muscle - I've never had to take all 3 lanes of a roundabout to get round before :o . Still the straightline acceleration was impressive, the buttock clenching moments when the first (mildish) corner appeared less so :o :o . Glad I tried one - wouldn't want to own one in the uk tho!!

When sorted, the Helicon motor is way more powerful and grunty 8-) , it'll be a great motor when it's no longer a prototype and is properly developed :D

You obviously didn't read about the Roehr 1250 in MCN

What's an MCN ;) :lol:

I based my comment after a recent 'experience' of riding a V Rod. I was very careful to make sure no one I knew saw me do it though :lol: It didn't feel anywhere near as powerful and certainly didn't have the low down grunt of the std Helicon. Mind you, it was dragging a barge around with it :lol:
Was the Roehr a std motor, all the ones I've read about have had the nuts tuned out of them?

I'm not a fan of multi's but Jeez!

I've two friends here with them - One is a policelady sar'nt. On the track they reckon to hardly need the gearbox. Policeladys' hubby is my "Guzzi chappie" - he runs one of these
