Thanks, all!
Riding this bike is more fun than anyone should have - legally (which I believe ends somewhere in first gear
).
Without hitting the the last four gears, you can still be doing double digits[FONT="]!
Friggen Amasing!!!
The panniers and tank bag arrive in a few days.
Although, I swore off "bling bling" for a while, a piece of carbon fiber has already found it's way to the bike. The fuel tank panel NEEDS to be replaced when swapping out the GPS Nav II Plus. Doh!
I'm doomed for sure. [/SIZE][/FONT]

I've managed to avoid carbon fiber so far, after all, you will be spending money on tires, but I have added a set of these.
Kind of expensive, but it sure is nice having a larger adjustment range than the stock levers allow. I like that clutch lever closer to the bars.
The fact that they're trick is just an added bonus.

Bry: You are horrible.
Time to shread the credit cards, while there's still hope.
But, right after I make a wish list.
I really like the Aluminium Dash Surround.

Those are sweet levers. What kind are they and where did you get them? I am looking for some shorty levers...

If I read correctly, the levers are from Wundrluch (sp). See San Jose BMW for availability - SJBMW is the exclusive distributor for WL in the U.S.
From my experience with WL products on the GS, they make quality, albeit spendy, stuff.

Happy to have another join into the fold.
Jetpilot forced me to buy one. Then Greg bought one, and now, another.
Very cool.
