    New 2.5L owner, things I hate about the motorcycle.

    I agree on floor boards for comfort. I've only switched to an Indian with floor boards and I've really noticed the comfort and variability in foot placement. I've never been one to scratch the pegs on my old R3s, and I'm yet to do the same with the Pursuit. Bugger all chicken strips on either...

    The rear guard is the no. 1 reason I don't like the new R3 and why I never bought one. It should extend past the rear tyre, actually acting like a rear guard should. Think old Kawasaki Z900 or Norton Fastback look, roughly speaking. It would protect the rider from rain flicking on their back as...

    Full rear mudguard

    It beats me why someone hasn't designed and built an extended version of the rear guard, the red tail end section in this photo for instance. It would achieve the same outcome as the product in the picture and give the bike a longer look.

    Drive Shaft

    I've seen little platforms with four castors on each corner for putting under each wheel of a car/caravan to move the car/caravan into tight places in garages.

    Best Tire Size for Handling

    On my older R3s, I've fitted 140/75 tyres to the front fit nimbler handling and a Bridgestone 240/55 on the rear for a cheaper tyre. Never had troubles mixing the brands of tyres out changing the sizes 🇦🇺

    Madstad Windscreen

    Does Windvest company make a screen for the 2020> R3? I've got one on my old 2010 and they work well, though nothing beats a full fairing like that of a Indian Pursuit /Challenger 🇦🇺

    Rivco risers for 2015 roadster, where to buy them in US?

    Try Honda Valkyrie bars. I installed them on my old 2005 R3 and they improved the comfort immensely. I didn't need to modify any cables, etc. 🇦🇺

    winter handguards for 06

    I don't get to ride in snow nor would i due to the slip hazard,here in Tassie. Has anyone mentioned heated clothing? I would think that maintaining your core temp well, the peripheral areas of the body might not get so cold. Gotta say, heated bars and seat are very nice. 🇦🇺

    Progressive Spring - rear shock modification - is it any good?

    I've had Progressive Suspension 440s.they leaked oil after I think 50000klm. I went with Hagon Nitros, much better and they're still going just fine 🇦🇺
