Those miles add up quick don't they!

This is probably stupid of me to say but I didn't know there was such a thing as a waterproof seat.

Correct.  Some even less so than others.  The Mustang doesn't have leather so doesn't absorb except thru the stitching....even most all boat seats with cushion will absorb some.  jmho.  spyder

Well I should have water proofed the stitching but didn't.

So I am home 1800 miles miles later.  The sheep skin cover did the trick.

I feel like a Harley rider now.  My 1st piece fell off the bike......
The shift lever stripped out 1 block from home.
I got it home in 2nd with the heel shifter.

I reversed the heel shift which I never use anyway and the bike is back on the road.
Just have to wash it before a local ride Sunday.

Congratulation's on being inducted into the BROTHERHOOD (losing the part counts.)  May the rest of your miles be trouble free my friend.

Steve, I too used the sheepskin on a cross country trip for comfort.  The two main problems I have with them are when it rains they're a 'sponge', and they raise the seat height a bunch (any amt. is a 'bunch' to me).  har!  spyder

Other then the shift lever falling off...what did you think?  What are your riding impressions?

got lucky, never put the rain gear on the whole trip.  Did take the cover off when it did start to drizzle.  I wanted it dry for the next day (today's ride home).  It didn't raise me up too much, but it did make a world of difference.

Never thought to have you tighten the shift levers...even after we saw Scot go through it a month earlier.

When organizing my tool kit, I realized I had forgotten about the spare screws I once bought...With fresh ones, you can really torque them down to get you home.

Strip the inner one and use the warrantee for both!

I enjoyed the ride.  I may have rushed into this trip on it, but sometimes you just have to go for it.
I will replace the seat.  I will change out the bars once the seat position is set.

Other than that....  I have a list of nit picks that I can't do anything about until I get some bills paid.
Brakes aren't as strong as my old bike.
Can't hear the stereo above 70MPH.
Narrower tires that seem to track poorly across pavement cracks and tar snakes.  (just need to pick better lines)

Think that is everything.

Got to wait for the paperwork to get completed.

Them POS billet shift levers!   I've trashed two heel shifters on my SEEG.  WTF?

Brakes can be fixed rather easily and cheaply with different pads.  Most here use Lyndall will good results.  A search will reveal the part numbers you need.

Tunes . . . gotta be better than the VTX, no?   But $100 or so and a half hour inside the fairing putting some Hog Tunes in will take care of you there until you're ready to spend more money on the Hawg Wired components.

Do you have the OEM Dunlops on there?  Try the Michelins when you wear those POS things out.  I put 'em on the SEEG last fall and have been really happy with them wet and dry.

Still, what a sweet bike the SEEGs are, huh?

I could hear the mp3's from my zumo at 85MPH on the VTX.....
I will check out the rest of your tips.
I do really like the bike.

Thanks
