Honda Goldwing… major contrast to the FTR.

Max…. Would these wheels work for a ‘22 model that already has 17” wheels? I remember hearing about different ABS sensor placement between first and second gen bikes.

I have a Corbin. It extends my riding time by at least 50%….and the color and material options are great.

I’m happy to see confirmation from experienced riders about how much fun it is to ride the FTR…especially info about how there’s more to a bike than HP and torque numbers

‘Bacon Festival’ in eastern Vermont!

2019 Honda Goldwing…. a real polar opposite of the FTR and perfect for those longer rides!

Reporting on seat comfort day 5– i’ve made multiple short runs around town and two longer trips of about four hours each. I always stop after a couple of hours and take a 30-45 minute break. So far the Corbin is way more comfortable than the stock seat, and I’m really enjoying the extra time in...

Reporting on seat comfort-day 1. I rode two hours tonight to go to dinner with a friend. I was very comfortable with the new saddle. Normally my butt starts hurting after an hour and a half. I didn’t have that tonight. The hour and a half ride home was also comfortable, but I could feel it near...

I didn’t think to compare them. I will next time I pull the saddle off.

I only rode it for about 45 minutes… but it’s noticeably more comfortable to my buttocks. It’s still a sport-bike kind of comfortable, though…nothing to rave about in the overall realm of saddles. I think it’s worth the money given the looks and improved padding. I’ve got a 4 hour ride...

I just put the seat on today. It’s from Corbin. The quality seems to be top notch, and I’m very pleased with the look. I had to convince Corbin to send me the seat since I have a 2022 bike. They weren’t sure it would fit since they’ve only outfitted 19 - 21 bikes before. It fits perfectly.

It probably was the wording that through me. Thanks.

Yea… but that doesn’t means his brakes disappear forever. If he was coming in ‘hot’ and the slippery surface was right in front of the thing he hit…that I could see. Otherwise…?

Wait…. Can someone explain how the ABS kicks off like this?

1400+ miles on my ‘22. It surged some early on but is better now. I can’t tell for sure if the tune is perfect for stock because I have an S&S slip-on with the decibel killer out.

Yup!!! Bleeding the master cylinder did it. I can position the lever as close to the bar as I want and still have full brake engagement. Thanks again, Charlie and Max! Why on earth would a dealership not fix this during 500 mile check up…especially when told about it??? But, once again, it...

^^^^ I bled from each disk. I’ll have to read up about bleeding the master cylinder… and about vacuum systems. Thanks for the response, Charlie! You too Max!

Man…that is so much shorter a throw than mine! F’in dealer should have caught this after I complained. I just bled the brakes. No improvement. There weren’t any bubbles coming out during the bleed… and I followed directions from multiple YouTube sites. What else might be up?

The bike has the longest throw of any motorcycle I’ve ever owned. This is the only FTR I’ve ever seen…so can’t compare. If you measure the movement near the brake’s pivot pin….it’s almost a half inch gap before the brake slows the bike. The movement at the very end of the brake lever is about...

I like to have the least amount of travel possible on my front brake… in part because I like to ride with one or two fingers on the brake. Unfortunately, my lever has to move quite a bit before I can feel the brake bite. As it is, the lever has to be adjusted all the way out for there to be...
