Thought it was strange myself but dealer confirmed this was correct for the reason stated above

I don't/won't use my SDGT for two up touring nor long distance rides, but that certainly looks like the solution. I would be more interested in a small 'tail' bag that replaces the pillion seat. Nothing big, just something to throw a phone and wallet in. Anyone aware of something like that?bigman32hockey wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2017 9:51 pmIn case anyone wants to see what it looks like with the side bags on.
I went with the Rottweiler Performance SAS Stage 2 kit. Works really well. I'd also recommend getting the fueling dongles and finding/buying some threaded plugs for the O2 sensors holes. The dongles trick the engine into running richer and buys you a few hundred more useable RPMs in the lower rev range. Pretty easy stuff to install.
This is the route i took, SAS Stage 2, and O2 kit, the Rottweiler O2 sensor removal kit includes threaded plugs for to go into the exhaust.dasjefe wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 1:17 amI went with the Rottweiler Performance SAS Stage 2 kit.

Not sure why I’m just seeing this post. Yes, the S1000R is gone. I liked the bike and put 23,000 miles on it. I can’t explain it, but I liked it a lot but didn’t love it a lot. I was surprised that it lacked refinement in a few different areas. I have read that the upgrades in 2017 made it a bit more refined.
Not quite sure why I couldn't love that bike either. It was fun, comfortable enough for a naked, but I never was quite satisfied with it. Plus I commute long miles so needed something a little more interstate friendly. That I-4 is a very good engine though.jjscsix wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 12:32 pmNot sure why I’m just seeing this post.

I would actually consider one again....maybe as a replacement for my Panigale. But it’s gong to be agonizing when (if) I ever sell that bike. I love that bike. I’m nearing 66 years old and 150-180 Sunday morning rides on it are still pretty easy for me.
My wife keeps reminding me that most people would love to have my problems![]()
