I don't know what they are like to deal with long term? Magic first 300 miles it’s a bit different from my Suzuki 1000K6 but my old bones and butt were aching too much on the longer runs I do now. I did consider and try the BMW Gt1200 and Yamaha Fj1300 both good bikes but the Gtr fitted me better handled more like a sports bike and seemed to have more go and looks a bit fresher and more modern then the others too I just wish it weighed 50Kg less and made 30Hp more but I’m never satisfied. I have been following the forum for a little while and like most I am looking to change the bike a little to suit me I have already fitted the normal bits hugger, fender extender tank pad, and was thinking next of ether pulling the flies or fitting the Gipro which I think has been covered here already but wondered if anyone has any updates advice dyno runs on which is the best way to go? I am also thinking of getting the cats chopped out and replacing them with a link pipe + shortening and degutting the stock silencer I don't know if anyone has done this? Any advice would help, and lastly I like the look of the stock screen but would like a bit less bufferting has any one tried the Larimer lip on this bike? if it helps I am 6ft tall with a 34” inside leg, an Informative site for a great bike which I hope to keep for a long while.
