On the road again (for those of us that remember the Grand Ole Opry)
Finally got the scooter shop to get his welder to do the Job . $20 Then talked of doing a custom exhaust this fall.
But, what a PITA to get it back on, with only two hands (Good thing I didn't need two legs)
Getting the dual exhaust up in thru the fab work for the rear end, crush gasket, exhaust pipe , collar bracket, nut started,..... what a chore. But, got everything loosely fit, tightened it all up, and oh so quiet, and rides so nice.
70 and sunny all weekend, and couldn't ride Rain the rest of the week. But, I'll be ready when mother nature is
Ride safe y'all

The belts in the front tire separated. Instant death trap at 60 mph. I'm ordering a new tire and hopefully that takes care of it. Glad you figured it out, but how did u come to that conclusion?

I did the Run For The Wall (Calif to DC) a few years (12) ago, and an older gentleman (about our age, I believe I recall him saying he was a retired military Colonel, or LtCol, [whatever]) rode a Burgman. At that time, we all kinda just looked at him sideways, but, he kept up just fine. And, he carried all his camping gear If I could, I would Who you calling old? YOU You old fart You're 10 days older than me 11/26/49 Now go take a nap, or on another Sabre forum you'd get a nice GFY With all respect intended Dave

GPS?

What I would like to see is one you could read in sunlight with out getting a second mortgage. Those designed for a bike have super bright screens like a fish finder that you can see in the sun and last I saw were in the $500 range. I have a cheap one I got for the scooter but after testing in the car I never used it, can't see it during the day unless it is shaded. I cut out a mini cover/umbrella outa cardboard and taped it to the gps holder. Not the best, but it kept some of the sun off

GPS?? For cruizing around?? Oh Hell No!!! We ride to ride. Not to ride to a destination. At the most, the gps on your smart fone, then to only go in the general direction of where you think u might wanna go.
GPS on a Tourer/GL1800/cross country road trip, ok, on a scooter, naw, takes the fun outa it

Yea, check MOM and see what it says for mileage. I make the Air Filter part of my Spring Maint ,along with oil, gear oil, gas filter, brake fluid, plug, and air in the tyres (OK, I don't change the air)
Enjoy the new ride

It's a 400 but that thing is fast! Even with the kit and a passenger. He was popping 65 when we went out no problem. Good grief, what's the 650 like?! Sheeesh! Rich Over on a Gold Wing board I read about a 650 Burg riding across the country with some 1800 Wings without a hitch. The Wingers said they didn't ride any slower than normal for them and the guy on the Burg said it was an enjoyable ride.
I've got to try one out some day.
