Well, I bought my 09 ABS new last fall as a leftover model, and since then I put about 2k miles on her over the winter and spring mostly just commuting etc, just no time or good weather blah blah blah to really get her out for a leg strech... I did farkle away though since I bought her.
Finally today I took her out for a decent rip, put 400 miles (approx 300 of this was unfortunatley highway) on her today going up to my buddies new cabin up in Washington. (No Cannonball Brian run for sure, but the longest one I've done on her so far
)
Here's some comments on how some of the new farkles worked for me...
-
Corbin seat was awesome, my butt was never in pain.
-
Throttlemeister worked great, I would use it for about 5 minutes or so to strech out my right hand from time to time, that 5 minutes here and there gave alot of relief for me.
-
Kawi tall windscreen, kept her up the whole time on the highway, very nice protection for me, I'm a short guy though (5'8").
-
Scala G4, tunes, gps directions, and even had 3 different phone calls doing about 85 down the highway, awesome!!
-
H.A.R.D radar detector led light in helmet, saved me twice!!
-
Nuvi Garmin 765T, worked great, I loaded up my SD card with a bunch of tunes last night for the built in mp3 player, was able to use this while riding
with my gloves on and had no problems at all, at all! The gps would interupt my music automatically to tell me of upcoming turns and when to turn etc.
Everything on my Connie worked very well, no problems at all, I'm sure I'm forgetting about some other farkle I have that came into play on my ride, but these ones are on the top of my head...
I'm looking forward to keeping this bike for alot more enjoyment, I'm happy!
Didn't really get any great pics, this is just at a rest stop, but still thought I'd share...
