Hmm. Yet another way to part ways with my money. Recall I have a BMW too. I'm not sure I need another way! Actually, I've discovered Triumph's willingness to take my money already with the keyswitch that has failed...and I have a jumpy transmission in second gear. Interestingly, the second gear slip seems to occur as the engine and oil get hotter. I'm wondering if a different viscosity oil would do anything. I know there are others who have had this issue, but I haven't read all the threads yet to see what solutions are out there.
I saw some people who have modified their ignition switches and they talked about having to cut the keyswitch mounting bracket out. That is a bit concerning. Mine was held in place with some special bolts, but just took a 4 mm socket (or was it 4.5 mm? - can't remember at the moment) and some patience. Anyway, a new Moto-Gadget keyless ignition is on its way as my first shot at resolving the ignition issue.
Since you offered, I'll ask: how is a guy supposed to know what aftermarket seat is right for his particular butt? Seems like a pretty high price to pay for some of these things without being sure that whatever I get is going to solve the issue. I do know that the stock seat I have is very hard on the tailbone after a short period of time.
I see that Triumph has a special going on their "Longhaul" seats for my bike, but that is a unit that combines the driver and passenger seats into one unit rather than the two separate seats that I currently have and I don't really know if it will be any better than what I currently have. I have also heard good things about the Russel Day-Long seat...at least that what I think it is, but I've never had either seat to personally test.
Sigh,
Greg
