    I downshift manually all the time. Sometimes the bike beats me to first gear but I usually precede it. I agree with Rattigan_Roger. Saves on brake wear.

    RAR - you will be surprised how comfortable you are with taking curves at speed once you get used to your Spyder and get some miles under your wheels. That's great that you took the MSF course. ...

    I think it's the seat and foot peg combination, plus goofed up body chemistry as has been posted here. I got a Corbin saddle and that improved things a lot. Not saying you should do that. Might...

    I have a barely perceptible vibration that occurs at several RPM ranges regardless of the gear I am in. Compared to a Harley this is nothing (vibration wise) and really not a concern to me. I'm...

    Sequimike you cracked my up with the bit about Harley riders and unicycles. That was a funny story.

    I replied with two. Don't know if I was supposed to limit it to one. I figured it would yell at me if it didn't like my input.

    Mine is being done today and they gave me the cost. About equal to yours. $258 before tax I think. I thought that was reasonable.
