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.

Ha, I can't tell you how many times I've had this exact thought.

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.
