I didn't mean to run it until empty. Still, for such a big bike 300km is kind of low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Indian said they had the lower fairing in stock and said a week to get them...I'm curious to try them out and hopefully they will be here before I leave for a week second week of juin...one of the reasons I wanted them..when running on highway speed 70 to 80 mph with your legs in a forward position...your always fighting ti keep your foot in place...nothing to un- comfortable..just anoying mostly and after alot of miles I would feel a little fatigue from keeping my foot planted on the foot boards..

Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Have to add...speed limit around here is 100kmp ..when you cross over on the American side..speed limit is increased to 110 or 120 kmp not sure.. ...you are literally being passed by granny's at 130kmp...so the legs get a workout just by the wind blast...

It's just the way your sitting on bike..feet forward and your croch spread out...it's not a touring motorcycle Pedro...it's a performance bagger...lol...guess you'd have to test one out for few hours at a 130kmp to see what I mean...honestly I think the indian pursuit would have been a better match for what I do with it...just didn't like the look of the rear trunk at the time..but if was able to go back..I would have bought the pursuit.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Just to clear I'm not trading my bike...just contacted the indian dealer today to see what the numbers would be on a trade for a pursuit....I can just imagine the crazy number they'll come up with...lol.
