Here's the setup I made this weekend. Bolted it onto my Altrider skid plate. Used an Eastwood 4-in compact metal bender (found on sale for $85) to make it out of 0.25 x 1.5 in steel. Test rode today and it was a great neutral position, took stress off of my lower back.

Great instructions by the OP. Just did mine thanks!!!

I'm no rep, have no affiliation with this company. Have done all my bike maintenance call me OCD... Last year I invested in this lift. When I don't have my bike or mower, etc on it, it makes a great work bench. Just wanted to share. I had a townhouse with a 1 car (motorcycle) garage for the...

When you are a well seasoned rider like this poster seems to be (and a lot of others in this thread recommending a flash), you expect bikes that are quality tuned from the factory. To clarify, as the OP (me), I have ridden many bikes, last was a 2006 wing for 138k mi in 8 years solo across all...

5'10, 190, 32, no meat on backside. Sargent also. Works for me. Harder than stock. Took about 300 mi for me to get used to it (and break it in). Been sitting on it for 2.5 hr stretches now no problem. Order from Sargent, 30 day moneyback. I figured if it didn't work I'd go to the RDL, but...

Its surprisingly easy. I video'd it here https://vimeo.com/231145481 Loosen lock on right, thread adjuster to left, tighten lock to it.

Well, I took out some slack in the throttle cable like suggested and it did help a lot in the power-off to power-on transition. The flash can wait at this point, figure I'll be at 6k in another month or two and can do it over winter if need be. Thanks to all for their help. Great forum.

What mechanically do you attribute the difference you mention in a smooth throttle after 6k mi versus 2k mi?

nope, not interested in fine tuning exhaust or getting more power, just taming the throttle. Thanks for advice!

Thank you !!!! I was trying to convince myself of the same. Awesome.

Long time, long distance touring rider, but new to my 2016 super tenere with only 2k mi in last month. Love the bike, absolutely hate the snappy throttle at low speed. I literally can't ride at low speeds without feeling like a bucking bronco or babying the clutch excessively. Touring mode is...

Thanks everyone! Glad to be here and have an S10. Love the bike.

Hi ! Last week I sold my 2006 Wing with 137k mi on it and bought a new 2016 S10ES. Awesome bike. Shedding 400+ lbs from the wing feels great. I normally solo ride far, been in all lower 48 except ND. Planned on going to Prudhoe Bay AK on Wing next year thru AK then I just needed a change of...
