Cooter, How did it go with your speedo reflash.? I am still running in Kilometers. I can add some mph numbers as reference but still am rolling in Kilometers
All, My big dilemma now is which bikes to sell and which ones to keep. I like them all -- the EBR 1190RX, The '09 Uly, the 2010 Ss.
I am still paying off the EBR but own the others. I hadn't planned on being a bike rental shop --what to do what to do?
Good reading and info, thx
If you really feel the need to unload one, I would say the ss would go. Basically the same as the uly but not near as comfy and I actually feel more confident corning on my uly than my ss (mostly because of the wider bars, could be ride time difference). So in the end you end up with a super sport, and a very capable sport&tourer and no in between. ..Originally Posted by optomist
But if you can, keep em all lol

For Cooter and others.
Well this Winter is slipping by and I have an update on the 2010 Ss. After getting it all imported and registered etc. I had been riding it around a bit. One day the speedo died and the check engine light would come on after a few minutes of riding. I was prepared for a worst case but Chris Rivas to the rescue. He replaced the speedo sensor and all is well.
I had him put a set of the new Metzeler Road Tecs' on and now the bike handles like a dream--none of that funky fall in at low speeds.
As soon as the weather settles down I will take it for a longer trip -- right now I am enthused and optimistic about the bike.
Did you ever have any luck with your speedo reflash?

I've honestly been too busy. Venice H-D says they will fix it no sweat but Wow this is a good reminder how long its been!
I have a Triumph Explorer, that's for going to work, my Ully is for going to all the places the Explorer is too heavy to go, my recently acquired 07 xb12ss I haven't figured out yet, mostly because I still have to break it in ( 617 original miles ) but I'll fit it into the schedule somehow.
The only correct decision is to keep them all !
Hello All,
Now that Spring is here I have been tooling around on the Ss quite a bit. Sweet little bike. Problem is I could use some cash about now ( can anybody say IRS?). I decided to keep the ULY and the 1190 RX and let the Ss go.
I put a new set of Metzeler Road Tecs on about 100 miles ago. Nice clean bike, no issues asking 5 K and I will deliver within 1000 miles if buyer buys one way fuel. Around 12,000 miles on bike. I am up near Seattle.
I haven't figured out how to post pictures but if anyone is interested they can PM me and I will respond with some pics.
Hello All,
Well here it is, Spring at last and lots of great riding ahead. Planning out some longish trips. Here is my problem. I go in my garage and see 3 bikes -- the Ss, the Uly and the 1190 RX. All awesome in their way, all in perfect tune--they are all plated and insured --This is crazy. I need some help in lightening the load. Someone PM if they are looking for a good deal on one of these bikes.
I put the Ss on Craigs and got several low balls and have to go the bank tomorrow sort of thing. I won't even get into the VFR I am trying to sell.
Great ride for someone.
i walk into my garage and on any given day see 25-30 bikes. doesn't seem crazy to me at all.
