Hi there, I just got my 2017 Cal Touring 1400 last night. GP motorcycles in San Diego has a great deal going on. I'm a short rider and was on the fence if this is something for me or I'm just getting myself into trouble. I rode it for a mile or two just to get a hang of it and I felt that I can handle this with some practice.
I wanted the fog lights and panniers taken off but they couldn't get the lights off because it would affect the windshield and sawing off was the other option I did not go for. I felt with these two accessories it was a little intimidating for me to ride it but may be I'll get used to it soon. I have been riding for 6+ yrs...about 20k+ miles on an Indian Scout 60, Ducati Monster, Aprilia Tuono and a V Star 250 to start with. I wanted something bigger than a Scout and went with the Cal 1400... I hope I made a good choice... If anybody has taken off the fog lamps successfully, please let me know.
I'm 5'4" about 160 and my Daytona's are helping me
