Thanks, Daniel, great write-up. It sounds like the rear leak problems are usually evident right away? I didn't know the vent was a replaceable part. I'll keep a keen eye out in the first 500 miles until service time.
I really like the lightness and feel of this bike. It reminds me of my old 1970s Bonneville in many ways. Next to my Eldorado it feels like a dirt bike. Can't wait to take delivery.
Yes, tire selection and rake geometry are the cause. I can help on both when the time comes or whenever you are ready.It holds a line well in the curves but there's no feedback from the front end. You have to believe your eyes and trust your ass. I think I'm the only V9 Bobber owner who actually likes the stock seat.
Welcome, and it's not the size, it's the profile; Which then, the geometry is the final fix (easy fixable by dropping the front end 20mm). The bike has a lazy rake (a bit choppered out right now.)Thanks, Todd. It's good to know there are options. I do like the stock tire for hitting bumps in city traffic. For that it's almost as good as the Eldorado.
Would you recommend this for a Roamer?Welcome, and it's not the size, it's the profile; Which then, the geometry is the final fix (easy fixable by dropping the front end 20mm). The bike has a lazy rake (a bit choppered out right now.)
