"Don from Ottawa" (1:22 in the video) here, six years in the future. What Ryan didn't mention in the video is that Fortnine got me a free replacement Puig deflector, which served me well for several years. Also, when I eventually replaced that one with an identical model just recently, I noticed that the hinges have been improved with reinforcements screws, making them much stronger. And the overall quality of the plastics remains top-drawer. I recommend both Puig and Fortnine.

Actually, this is a little true but also false. This video is meant to be about luxurious accessories, not your normal ones. You can't use this to judge most accessories. Like that bag was unnecessarily fancy and pricey. A top case with rack will cost more, but be stronger, have a back rest, have as much storage as you choose to buy, and the rack can be used for other things. Just get a cheaper bag for the go that fits your needs. The gel cushion is over priced and the company is basically an expensive knock off of the much cheaper Airhawk, who are the standard in air pads. The grip accessory is only $12. Must expensive accessories are because the sales are low due to low USA ridership.

I wanted cruise control for many years when riding sport tourers, but then I bought a motorcycle with cruise control that didn't make me lean forward, while rotating my wrists back at an uncomfortable angle, and now I find that even though I have cruise control, I never use it. I tried Airhawk seat cushions, similar to the Wild Ass ones, from flat to full, and every pressure in between, and never found them comfortable, not everyone finds a soft cushion, or seat comfortable. Having tried almost every seat cushion out there, plus beads, and many aftermarket seats, I am by far the happiest with the Pro Pad SuprCruzr sheepskin cushion I have on now, happy enough that I won't be buying any more cushions, or looking for any more seats.

A couple things I've used on all my bikes is a throttle lock (no crap buster for me) which is so nice out on the open road. Just set your speed and lock it. You can still adjust the throttle if need be, so you can quit annoying those who follow you with their cruise control on. You'll maintain a steady speed instead of speeding up and slowing down as I've noticed while following bikes on the road. It's hard to maintain a steady speed unless you're constantly looking at the speedometer. Another mod is to cut down about 1" of the harder foam out of your seat and put a layer of memory foam in place of it. That will make long trips so much more comfortable on your butt.

That would definitely be my way of doing things. Every time I look at motorcycle accessories the first thing that comes to mind after looking at the price is how I could build it myself. Windshield riser? Some clear acrylic cut to shape then heated up with a heat gun over some moderately curved surface and some 3d printed clamps. Seat? A bit of recycled foam with a cover over it. Highway pegs? Some plumbing parts and some tube clamps. The amount of money they charge for some plastic is just plain silly.

I rock an MRA Vario on my vfr800 vtec. Like your clip on puig blade. Went from buffeting hell at 70mph to smooth as butter. Oddly it doesn't work like you'd think - blocking airflow to you head, rather it forms a "laminar flow" of air into your helmet. So you no longer get neck strain fighting the buffeting and are instead just in a smoothed stream of air. Defo recommend, for those who watch this video mine is nowhere near as vertical as shown here in the video, more parallel to the windscreen, you want to disturb the air as little as possible, try it and you'll feel it. The air hitting your helmet will suddenly feel completely different at the right angle.

"Ombra mai fu" as "Handel's finest aria?" It's a reasonable choice and it fits the quirky nature of the website. Even though the piece is marked "larghetto" it's often called Handel's Largo. It's sung by an eccentric character to a tree, praising the shade it casts. And even though it's from a secular opera, the "Largo" has been taken over by church organists and assigned quasi-religious meaning on no basis whatsoever. Ok, back to motorcycles--another informative and entertaining video, FortNine. Thanks! I might have to try to footpegs on my ST1100.

Here's a very old trick for long distance coverage; forget the gel seats, air seats or whatever. Just get a sheepskin, throw it over your standard seat and climb on. You'd think that it would slide around, you'd lose grip or whatever, but it really works. I've ridden 600+ miles in a day using this trick, and done so on some very different machinery. Other things may cause you to stop earlier, but the sheepskin won't make you feel like you've earned an iron bum award..

I told the parts guy what I had in mind. i walked out with a seat pad similar to what you had. I also purchased the throttle pad and a after market fiberglass frame mounted fairing similar to the Vetter. With the bike stock, anything more than 2 hours would be more than you want to ride. Adding these products made a night and day difference. On the trip, when I reached the halfway point and back home, I felt like I could have added another 100 miles each way without a problem

Alaska Leather makes several sheepskin seat pad options for a lot less than the wild ass air gel pad. I bought their cheapest one ($60) several years and thousands of miles ago. It's been great. It's comfy, thin, breathable, surprisingly water-resistant, and doesn't get hot even when parked in direct sunlight. My dad got an air pad for his bike, but didn't like it at all.

Add to that list grip puppies....foam sleeves that make long rides vibe free and comfy. Buy the gsa and get hard luggage. You have longer travel suspension on that and a smoother ride as well as a better standard screen. Standard gsa seat is also super comfy on long haul rides. Saddleman saddles also great but pricey as are any number of alternatives...get std seat firmed up by refoaming if needed. Thats it...thats all you need for the best long haul bike in creation.

Thank you so much again for being so brutally honest wether its about the quality or prices of a product.
