Ptfjjj, It's true that the S10 is high enough, but I've already rubbed off the outside of my "old riding boots" in just a week since we got our SILVER S10 here in Chiriqui, Panama. The bike is every thing I was hoping for and more. As we are all different, there are some features I need to "customize" but not many.
I need to look into the possibility of "wrapping" the exhaust system from the "cat box" to the muffler, as here in the tropics, that area produces a lot of heat for my wife. Next, while driving at night, the reflection off the headlight protectors needs to be "blacked out" to not be bothersome. Bar risers and road pegs are a must, and I think both "cruise control and Palm leaver" are in order, as the grips are so far apart, it changes the geometry of ones sitting stance. Also, after only a week of riding, I discovered I'd better make provisions for extra gas. I decided on the 1 gal "RotopaX" Heavy Plastic, 9 1/2" X 13 1/2" X 3" as the foot print of our Motofizz medium seat bag will just cover the tank. I welded up a rear rack to hold both after removing the stocker, and made provisions to mount a couple of helmet locks. I take a pretty good hit of air from around the tank, so I think the "Wind Deflectors" are also in order.
We'll be departing Panama the last week in March for a 3 month cruise thru our old Home Land before many more bridges fall. We'll enter at Brownsville Tx. then Ft Lauderdale, Atlanta, Hattiesburg, Ms, Phoenix, Ar. San Diego, Ca. S F Seattle, Wa. Boise, Id. Grand Canyon & area, then home to Chiriqui, Panama.
