Re: Seat Height

Greetings... I had a 2007 R1200RT, and it came with a standard height Corbin seat, super comfortable, but also a bit tall for my 30" inseam. I'm not a huge Crobin seat fan since they tend to be much harder than I am used to.

I came across a used "low" Corbin seat that really lowered the sitting ...

Re: Slippery Grips

WELL DONE Randy.... I don't care for the thicker grip when using the grip-puppies, but I now am hoping I can find a thing tennis racket wrap that will lay over my somewhat-slick original grips. Your description of your problem and then solution was very helpful and well comunicated. Big help!!

Re: Lower an RT Center Stand


Assuming you are only lowering the rear springs the kick stand will probably be ok most of the time and the center stand will be more difficult to in gage on the bike. You will need to be more careful with the kick stand.
