    Touring seat vs touring seat with backrest....

    The rider backrest is really worth it, especially on a long trip. Snatch his hand off for that backrest - from what I could tell, the seats feel the same. I've just sold my touring seat and backrest (after buying a GT), and have put the stock separate seats back on. I find it's better for short...

    Floorboards/Footboards on a Rocket

    Surely a washer either side would sort that out ?

    SEAT WILL NOT CATCH

    Simply do the same thing on the front ? - raise the catch with a washer under the catch mountings ? I'd also check the mounting points of the rubber buffers, making sure they align correctly. I've done this before with a dab of white acrylic paint, easily cleaned off. From experience, do one at...

    Prospective Rocket 3 R owner

    Well done that man ! One word of warning though - it seems as if (in Europe) the Storm (2025-on) bikes are Euro5+ compliant, have two O2 sensors, and you can't change the exhaust ! Not a problem of course if you don't intend to 😎 Wishing you miles and miles of smiles,... and watch out for...

    SEAT WILL NOT CATCH

    I had all this with my 2017 Roadster, when transferring the duel seat from a previous bike. I finally sorted it by adding a couple of washers under the rear mounting, raising the tapered pin so it latched better. My worry was that if it did latch by sitting on it, the tension on the release...

    Sad News In Eureka Springs

    That's like so many places everywhere these days. Here in the UK - "Pubs" are closing everywhere, and because they used to have large car parks they are being snapped up by developers for a dozen or so houses ! 😟

    New rider

    Welcome, I used to have a GSX1400 as well, probably the best looking bike ever made,... Anyway, agree with all here, the Penner tune, and I'd also add a DNA air filter - that seems to have made quite a difference for me with 30% more air (in all modes). Enjoy 👍😎

    Werkes Exhaust on UK bike ?

    Well, thanks for that - but they wouldn't be working on it if it wasn't a viable proposition ? (Kawasaki have made one !) Furthermore, in the UK they are busy busy replacing all the Gas Mains Pipework for these enormous yellow plastic pipes. I queried one of the installers about it, and was...

    Werkes Exhaust on UK bike ?

    This is true, however the ICE is not dead yet. Yamaha (did you know that Yamaha are Toyota's engineering partner !) still own the rights to the 4Ltr V8 they developed at the request of Toyota for the Lexus sports car range, and they have been developing it to run on hydrogen - successfully! On...

    Werkes Exhaust on UK bike ?

    Absolutely, big brother gets one step closer. It seems like the EU regulations are trying to stop you doing anything to the ECU/Exhaust for emission reasons. It won't be long before they introduce emissions testing for bikes on the annual MOT test in the UK 😟 - hopefully, it'll be only for...

    Werkes Exhaust on UK bike ?

    Thank you for this, I'm pretty sure it's a European thing because of the Euro 5+ requirements. This answers my question, adding an adaptor for the 2nd sensor seems the way to go 👍😎 I also wonder will it work at all with the Storm ECU ? With two sensors before/after the Cat - how's that going to...
