    I'll give this a try and report back, thanks

    Mustang Seats - Weekender

    Does the Corbin solo seat push you up or forward compared to stock? I have a 37" inseam so leg room is already at a premium, but my ass hurts

    Wunderlich Tank Pad Issues

    Nothing done to my paint, I cleaned any residue off the surface with goo gone then many, many passes with rubbing alcohol

    Wunderlich Tank Pad Issues

    The temp of the tank and pads when I applied was 80 or so, the adhesive states 70-100. Too hot is just as bad as cold I think. I also applied the 60s of constant pressure before letting go. I haven't heard of the rubbing before but I did leave the tank side of the plastic on, flipped the pad...

    Wunderlich Tank Pad Issues

    Anyone else have these tank pads? I have tried endlessly to get there to work and am scraping rock bottom. I applied the initial pair as instructed, made sure the tank was spotless with no residue or otherwise, and they started to peel almost immediately. A friendly call to Wunderlich USA (who...

    Engine fault light

    Update on misfire in the rain: While waiting for my dealer appointment I got antsy and decided to poke around a bit myself. After some digging I believe that I was wrong earlier and the valve cover-cover was a red herring. It is so easy to forget with how well things are tucked, but this bike...

    Iconic Pictures with R18

    That one is Bodie Island, I did the NC outer banks ride yesterday

    Engine fault light

    That's frustrating to hear. "Don't worry about it" isn't really a satisfactory answer if it's a reoccurring issue. Not riding in rain isn't much of a choice for most people. The bike has a RAIN MODE after all. Maybe if enough people bring this issue in on a warranty claim a recall or...

    Engine fault light

    Some compressed air and it seems to run fine now, although the check engine light still flashes of course. Dealer says "generic misfire codes" on all three counts and wants me to bring it in so their computer can give them more info. If it seems to be running fine, is it ill-advised to ride...

    Engine fault light

    Seems there was water in the valve cover-cover, but not any clearly on a wire for the injector or spark plugs. Same misfire code and a few others that are different, but I can't recognize them

    Engine fault light

    I just had the same exact thing happen to me, just parked it in the garage. Felt like it was running funny but didn't try to die on me. I'm gonna throw my scanner on once things dry off to see if my codes match. Did you ever find a "solution"? I'm also very disappointed if my bike can't handle...

    gas mileage

    Pretty consistently 42 mpg avg over a full tank, it would be better if I could resist the throttle :ROFLMAO:

    DK Crash Bar Spacer Size

    What a champ! Those are certainly some odd sizes, and not a generic part. Especially with that step on the big one. I had the idea to check out McMaster-Carr but they don't have this. Time to get creative, I'll post results if there are any

    DK Crash Bar Spacer Size

    Thank you for the help, it sounds like I may not be able to source these spacers myself. Typically these metric spacers come in lengths that are a multiple of 5

    DK Crash Bar Spacer Size

    Can anyone help me out with the dimensions of these 2 spacers for DK bars if you have them? Unfortunately they were missing when I received the kit, hoping to source them locally if they're a generic part. I assume they would go by fastener size (ie M12), outer diameter, and length

    First Service Complete and a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway afterwards

    I almost went to the BRP this weekend, also after my initial service... Small world. Next time announce a meetup 😅

    More Rusted Turn Signal Mounts

    Like many others my bike rolled off the lot with rusted signal hardware. A call to a few dealers tells me this is extremely common, so much so that the part is back-ordered for all eternity. My plan was then to pull the hardware off and have them cold blued at the local gunsmith. However, I...

    Hello from coastal NC

    Just pulled an un-offical SaddleSore yesterday to pick up a '21 First Edition. Demo bike with 200 miles and the deal was too good to pass up. Loved every minute of the way home despite the pain (y) My welcome box is supposedly in the mail, and I just picked up some dk crash bars since they seem...
