But that seat :roll:
lol what about it? Came with the bike. PO has stock seat, but they’re quite a ways away. Just haven’t gone it to retrieve it yet.

It's far more important to be stylish than comfy! We talked you out of the giant fairing, now it's time to get a better looking seat!

Just kidding. :D

So glad you joined the forum kmisterk, we needed some new blood around here. Things are livelier around here lately than they've been for a good while. So nice to see.

I love my R1200GS but seeing and hearing your bike on youtube makes me yearn for an airhead again.

Heh, the fairing "fell off," I swear :P

But yes, I do still plan to go grab the seat! This weekend might be the weekend I do it. >.>

And thank you! I'm glad I'm able to get things revitalized again! I thoroughly enjoy exploring hobbies and passions to their fullest, and Airheads, of late, have happened to be one of them.

Alright, alright, you’re right. It looks *way* better with the original seat.

exactly that compression is not OK.. make sure you open the throttle when checking the compression too.. i did my 75/6 this weekend and got 152 psi both sides.
