First time poster, joined forum this morning, woo-woo, $94 for a year, may have clicked in wrong place. Oh well.
Bought a 04 R1150R last night, not first bike by a long shot, but first BMW.
(other/current bike is a Honda ST1100).
It's clean, 31k, silver, shield, backrest, not much else to say.
I can immediately tell:
1. I need more leg room, i'm cramped at 6-1 w/34" inseam
2. need lower pegs? Suggestions?
3. Need taller seat? Suggestions?
4. Need bar spacer/risers? Suggestions (this is probably the easy one, random/generic likely easily available)
I note there is a power-port on the left side of the bike about 8" above the peg - but it's not cigarette-lighter style, it's smaller.. Special plug for heated vest???
Is there a short list of the "must do" mods, accessories, or tips on this bike?
Last year of the 1150R I believe, right?
1st ride impression: a bit cramped, and massive compression braking, kinda abrupt between shifts.
Thnx!
Nathan
