Just made a round trip from Panama City Beach to Lafayette, LA and back. Total 876 highway miles running between 75-85 mph. I must say I was impressed with the performance of my bike. Averaged 43 mpg and never once coughed or hiccuped. Anxious to see if there will be any noticeable performance increase with a carb synch. Hard to imagine it could get any better than it was.
Now I have to work on the comfort issues. Especially with the seat and finding someway to extend the highway footrests out farther so I can stretch my legs. It seems my seat feels tapered in such a way that I feel like I'm tilted too far forward, putting too much weight on my wrists and hands. And there has to be a way to extend the highway footrests.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be appreciated.
Thanks!
