Touring with the Superhawk. Any advice?
I am getting ready to ride to Sturgis from NC. I put a cig lighter adapter the out doors type with a little cover on it, for my gps. corbin seat also Im looking into the buell footpegs. Just did 600miles sat. only thing Im changin is back to stock sprockets. goodluck.
Hi.
In 2005 I did 3000 mi on a GSXR 750. Victoria B.C. - Winnipeg Manitoba and back. I hurt for days... my back, my legs, my wrists and fingers buzzed for a couple weeks, and some fingers were numb. Great ride, hell on the body.
Two weeks ago, I did about the same Victoria B.C. to Santa Barbara, CA and back on my hawk. Stock seat, stock bars. The bike performed beautifully, I stretched every time I stopped for gas, and my legs, arms, back, neck, *** and everything really were ok. I'm upgrading to a Corbin seat, and am thinking about different bars, but I had no pain in my wrists, and no numbness or buzzing, and I don't have a throttle lock, or a rocker (plastic piece that fits on the throttle grip). I think with the adjustments it would be even more comfortable! I'm 6.0' 165lbs. It was an awesome ride!
