Personally I can't see spending the cash for a new Monster... However, they're dead sexy and the 696 fits me like a glove. The seat's nice and low and sculpted so that it's very easy to flat foot....

Movin' on up

Not that I necessarily see it that way, though.

This weekend I saw that my local dealer had a gorgeous 1995 BMW K75 in stock, with locking hard bags included. For a while I've been thinking that...

Agreed. On more than one occasion I've flat out said no to girls who asked me to buy them a drink - then ordered myself one. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it doesn't turn them off.

I used a heat gun on high (~425*, I think)... I don't think it actually heated the screw thorougly enough, though, since the cordless impact driver I have didn't make a dent.

I broke my mirror a couple years ago - the new OEM replacement cost $40 and took about 9 minutes of work to put it in... I wouldn't bother with having a glass company do it, even if it's a little...

I find (on both the clutch and brake levers) that my index finger ends up extending out over the lever itself - the pressure I apply to both levers is all from my middle and ring fingers.

I still have the adjustable clutch on (which was really my big reason for going for them anyway, I didn't like the pull of the stock lever), but the brake lever's going to need some...

I was finally able to get out and go for a few rides to figure out what the source of the problem is... it's definitely the aftermarket brake lever. It looks like it's pressing the little diaphragm...
