Re: (new rider) wind while riding at 50 mph uncomfortable

Keep up the riding and getting the experience under your belt, soon it will be 60 that makes you nervous... eventually 90...

Re: (new rider) wind while riding at 50 mph uncomfortable

Of and by the way, I have dropped mine once... On my first long ride after getting the bike I dropped it at a stop sign on my way home 2 blocks from my house, It slowly fell like a tree cut down by a lumberjack.

Re: (new rider) wind while riding at 50 mph uncomfortable

800 miles riding experience... The R1150R is HUGE for a beginner. I am a relative new rider with only 4 or 5 years riding experience. I started with a old 1984 Honda VT500 Ascot, has similar riding geometry as the R1150R but the bike is 500cc and weights just over 400 pounds (If I remember correctly...

Re: Fitting a full sized left bag on R1150r

Re: New 2004 R1150R owner, what do I need (beginning rider)

I do find the horn on the R1150R sufficiently loud to attract the attention of other drivers. I have re...

Re: Want a new front fender. Any suggestions?

Torsen,
The front side mounting holes have been ground down, the PO completed this mod, I wish I had more information than the photos. Let me know if you would like any more specific photos.

Re: Want a new front fender. Any suggestions?

Here are a few more detailed shots of my front fender, please excuse the dirty bike... I am also planning on adding the 'Fenda Extenda' this spring. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a205/jcrona/Fender%20Side_zpsk2riuyqf.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a205/jcrona/Fender%20Top_zps8gsymiy6.jpg ...

Re: Want a new front fender. Any suggestions?

Monkey, I believe the fork sliders have been modified to accept the R1200C, I'll try and get a better phot this evening.

Re: Want a new front fender. Any suggestions?

The previous owner of my bike added a fender from a R1200C, I really like the look on the R1150R. Sorry for the lack of detail on the photo.
