First, let me say good luck with the sale. But if you end up keeping the Connie, we certainly understand. Here's a brief rundown of my experience in deciding between Diavel vs. C14: The Diavel is an impressive bike. I test rode one last fall. But I opted for the C14. The Connie is heavier, but has more power if I'm not mistaken, and also perhaps has far less expensive maintenance needs. Far more after market support for the Connie, far more comfy on long trips also. The big thing for me was that I could buy TWO Connies for less than the price of the Diavel, and still have enough left over for a KLR. But that's all just me. Overall, there are far too many good bikes, and far too little time!

Hope your sale works out, whichever way it goes.

Thanks.

I'd love to keep this bike AND get the Diavel. Just haven't figured out how to do it. Just started watching Breaking Bad and am getting some ideas. lol

May I ask... Why did you get the install the Givi mounting kit with the Phil's rack ?  Doesn't the rack come with the givi mounting kit already installed ?

By using both I was able to move the E55 back far enough to use the Corbin backrest without touching. It also ties in the Givi bracket to the mount on the (plastic) grab rails and is incredibly solid. Each one is good by itself but bolted together it's great.

WELL... you could right up here to Mentor and have me work on the bike, and then, I could say "I lost your fob". And then you could pull your other fob out of your pocket and ride it home.... and leave it outside for the night......better yet, have a root canal done, and be on pain meds, and out for 2 days......

the rest is history.......
you do have replacement value full covereage don't ya?
