Author Message   Paroyboy Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 09:00 am:        Just wondering if anyone has bought and installed the touring seat for the XB9R. Wondering if it might be a little more padded, comfortable. Roy   Fasteddieb Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 11:54 am:        I ordered one about a week ago - the stocker doesn't work for me at all. If that doesn't work I'll send the stock seat off to Sargent - they've done good work for me before. In any event, I'll report back when I have experience with the new seat. FWIW, in the interim, beads can really help. Don't laugh - I trimmed mine down from one made for a car available at WalMart for under $10 - and it REALLY helps!   Firemanjim Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 02:03 pm:        I got one of the Pro Pads just before leaving on All CA ride,it worked fantastic!!And you can take it off and on as you like.   Spiderman Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 02:08 pm:        wow the first Firebolt Taxi cab   Pilk Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 02:47 pm:        I'll keep the monkey butt syndrome forever vs puttin beads on my bike. Pilk ps Dont laugh? yeah right.   Spiderman Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 02:56 pm:        "5th and Main and make it quick!" LOL All you need now is one of thoes gold crown air freshners   Fasteddieb Posted on Saturday, June 22, 2002 - 05:29 pm:        Well, at least I'm not Pakistani! (not that there's anything wrong with that!) Want a real laugh? Here's my K1200RS is full-bore Jed Clampitt Beverly Hillbillies mode (it ain't easy carrying camping gear for 2 plus supplies for 3 weeks) Ducking for cover...   Whatever Posted on Monday, July 01, 2002 - 02:03 pm:        How can anyone do that to a Beemer? That is sacreligious. Charlotte   Fasteddieb Posted on Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 10:38 am:        I know, I know. The HORROR and all that. Might make a good Stephen King novel. OTOH, what makes the bike great is it can be loaded up like that and blast across Montana 2-up at 120 mph for hours at a time. Have twice spent 3 weeks+ with da wife in tow covering about 6,000 miles each trip. When you get to the twisties it can be stripped down to feel almost like a (600lb) sport bike. It's a great (sporty) alternative to buying a GoldWing or a K1200LT. No reason that a trip like that couldn't be done 2-up on a Buell, but I value my marriage! I must confess, I much prefer it in "sporting mode"   Mikej Posted on Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 11:19 am:        Is that bike really as big as it looks?
