More Comfort

Due to the costs of new BMW,s i am considering making my RTLE1250 a bit more comfortable and keeping it a few more years , has anyone got any tips on using IIlium Works bar risers and footboards ? any tips fully appreciated .

If you really want to make it comfortable, get yourself a Russell Day Long seat. It was the very best mod to my bike. I tried several aftermarket seats and Russell tops the list.

Chinese raisers are just as good but buy some stronger bolts. Again from the same country, peg lowering kit. Both can be bought for under £70.
Since i lowered my pegs ive been much more comfortable.
