Hi, I could be interested in this too. I don'y get that many weekends off, but keep me posted and I'll come if I can. Cheers, Tim Nice But ... Work? Someone's Got To Do It

No import duty as it's sent as a repair ;) I can't remember off hand what the shipping cost was, but it wasn't as much as I thought it was going to be considering the size of the package. I'll check it out and get back to you. Tim Nice But ... Still Comfy

Hi, sorry for the delay in replying but I'm without a PC at home at the moment so have to do this at work. The Russell Day Long is an S-3 on their pricing page. That is for EACH seat. So, if you're doing the pillion as well it's x2. The wife insisted that if I was getting a better seat she...

I found the OEM to be the most uncomfortable seat I have ever had to suffer. I tried an AirHawk without success, and had the OEM restuffed by a local boat upholsterer and that improved it. They added an extra inch of foam (although this was compressed to nearer 1/2" when the cover was...

I have a 2014 ES and have done just under 19000 miles on it. I do a lot of 2 - up travelling with shed loads of luggage. With 2 weeks worth of clothes, camping gear etc the bike copes remarkably well. Admittedly SWMBO is slight of build and we have perfected packing light over the years. But...

I tried the stainless pipe clip route and they're no way rigid enough. You get an almost strobe like effect as you ride :o Tim Nice But ... Blinded By The Light

I very rarely use S mode, in fact almost never. I've now done 18,500 miles on my 2014 (since May 2015) and the computer says I've averaged 58.3 mpg (UK). I got the bike with 200 miles on the clock, it was an ex demonstrator and at that time the average was 44.5 mpg.The average peaked at 60.1 mpg...

For my UK brethren, it looks like we should be able to get the Pro Taper Adventure High bars soon: Dirtbikeexpress 8:43 AM (1 hour ago) to me Hi Tim I have just checked with the UK importer of Pro Taper and these are currently not available :( However these will be available in the not to...

I have a TT sat nav bracket fitted to the oem screen cross bar and have found it wobbles about a bit at times; making it difficult to read. I've seen other inmates brackets and decided to fine tune on of my own. We have a 3D printer where I work and so I knocked up a quick pair of truss rods in...

Cakeboy: I have tried adjusting the suspension; but it hasn't improved the seat comfort. I have two definite pressure points that cause my problems. I'm toying with the Airhawks, but at £180 for the rider and £150 for the passenger I need to be sure they're the answer. We shall see. Rasher...

Pretty sure it's the same part number for both. Worth checking to confirm. Tim Nice But ... Saddle Sore

I too am more than happy with my ES, solo or loaded and two up. One odd ball thing I have noticed though is I can flat foot on the bike on the two-up with luggage setting (just me on the bike) but not on the solo so luggage setting. I'm still trying to get my head round that as I would have...

Groundhog - I commute along the M27 to Pompey every day, so get quite close to you. Let me know when you're free and we can meet up to put the world (and S10's) to right. Rasher - Thanks for the offer. I'm up and down the A34 on my way to Milton Keynes with monotonous regularity, so pass again...

I understand the you're going to get some noise/buffeting/ etc. I've done over 30,000 miles on a Victory Hammer with no screen and no issues. I guess I expected the screen to not make it worse than no screen :-[ Currently I'd say the stock screen on any setting makes the noise/buffeting worse...

Thanks for the input chaps. I now have a plan of action. The seat is the main area for improvement. There are enough options for the screen that I'm confident I can get that sorted, and the winglets seem a must. The seat is the main thing. I have spoken to Tony Archer and Saddlecraft. I have...

My riding gear is tried and tested (by me). I've tried various trousers; I use Halvarssons Prince trousers for some journeys. I found these were worse before I sorted the seat slope (probably because of the multi layered construction). I wear morino wool leggings some of the time under my trews...

Hi, This is my first post, although I did a lot of lurking before buying. I am the not as proud as I'd hope to be owner of a 2014 ES. I have now done 3,000 miles on it and have a couple of gripes that I would value your input on: Seat - I find it unbearable after about 100 miles. I'm 5' 9" and...
