    So it appears that the seat style doesn't have a lot to do with how sporty you want to be.

    That seat looks very good and comfortable. The leather looks awesome and while it will require more maintenance, @ChrisPDX is the perfect person to tend to it. Me, on the other hand, would have it rotting in a week. Chris has mentioned to me that he'd like to take the bike touring. As he road races now (and has for a very long time) he doesn't the urge to drag pegs on the street. That's only for posers who don't actually race.

    When you say "old duffers"... you mean everyone here, correct?
  4. I need to ride the bike now and try out the pegs.
  5. You can still see the Rubbermaid logo. That's awesome! Also CAD actually stands for Cardboard Aided Design...
  6. I was lucky and the documentation for the recall was included when I bought the bike. Mine was done at the original dealer, Moto International.

    That's great! I think there's a similar shop in Oregon, I'd have to look at my notes. (I don't actually have notes but it sounds better when I say that).
  8. Definitely step one is to make sure you have a solid backup of the map.
  9. Technically there is a spherical bearing attached to the damper clamp. It just happens to attach to the triple clamp. But let's see if we can get @ChrisPDX for some more photos of the dampener mount to clear things up.
  10. From the pictures provided there’s nothing to indicate that the HyperPro is mounted any differently than the stock dampener. I’m not sure what you are seeing that would suggest otherwise.
  11. I’m seeing zero difference between the Shindy mount and the Hyperpro mount. Each have two spherical bearings in the same location. What am I missing?
  12. They don’t know me by my full name, I’m just @swooshdave around here. 😜
  13. I wasn’t having any luck on the Hyperpro site or even just Googling that part number. ☹️
