Just testing the waters here. As much as I love this bike, I'm considering an upgrade this year. Clean CO title in hand. I am the original owner and it was purchased new from Indian FoCo in June 2019. Never raced. Never wheelied. Always stored in the garage.

I probably should add that this only cost me a 12-pack of 90 Shilling (beer). It's all in who you know, right?
I probably should also add that I'm a huge dude. I'd be worried to ever sit on the bike while on the stand. Ever. With any bike. :oops:
I've had a couple occurences of the bike just being too upright when on the sidestand. So I took it off, brought it into my shop guys, and took out 3/8". In my eyes, it looks OEM. And it sits at an angle that I'm FAR more comfortable with.
Iphone 11 and Cardo Packtalk Bold here. I'm with Charliemurphay. Waiting for everything to be ready to go and then turning my headset on seems to have the best luck. Sadly, that also means remembering to turn the CPB off when I hop off to get gas.
It was getting up in the low 50s today so I thought I'd take a quick scoot up to Estes Park and Lyons, CO. Just past Pinewood Springs, I was surprised by a temp drop to 41 and snow in the road. Brrrr! So I turned around, enjoyed the warmer air, and took the long way home.
Is anyone out there using a paddock stand in the front? If so, which one?
I tried using the same stands that I had in the past for my SV1000. The rear worked great. However, the front doesn't get that big honkin' wheel/tire completely off the ground. I think I need something taller.
Welcome! I was just at your dealership in early September with my Dad. I think I may have spoken to you then. If you ever make it out to the Denver area hit me up.
I just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone else is having the same issue. I noticed within the last month that the stitching was starting to back out of my OEM seat. I took it to the dealership and a week and a half later I have a new seat under warranty. Maybe when this happens...
Yesterday morning was probably one of the last 'warm', weekend mornings I've got left this year for a ride. Went up 36 to Estes Park, then down the Peak-to-peak to Nederland for breakfast, then down Left Hand Canyon to home.
PS-my left toe made contact with the ground in LHC for the first...
Obviously, this year's pandemic had the DGR running a little differently than normal. The theme was "Ride Solo, Together". That being said, I thought I'd share some shots from my ride. I started that morning at Red Rocks Amphitheater, an absolutely magical concert venue. Then I rode around...
One of the older project bikes I used to have came with a box FULL of spare parts (also junk). There were a few of these red horns in there and I decided to put one on the FTR. I haven't tested decibels. But I know from the looks I've received that it's audible to people in cars on the...
