Stock is 12 inches on the shock

Most say 10s, but I got to 12 by rerouting my clutch cable and bending my brake cable elbow fitting down. 10 inches is the standard answer though.

So ill have to edit my videos and add music or something before I actually upload them to youtube. Usually i do a helmet mount so it doesn't vibrate so badly but i also have a few videos mounted on the tank. Once I finally get around do editing them together Ill post a link in this thread

Are you using the waterproof case or the open case? If you use the waterproof case my experience is that it usually blocks most of the wind noise.

Looking forward to seeing your video. My two Hero 5s are the first video cams I have ever bought. Got an email from Best Buy (where I got them) telling me that I get free Geek Squad set up! Did not know this. Salesman never said anything about it.

Believe me, free Geek Squad set up is big for me. I am not a tech guy. Geek Squad did my home computer and home theater system. Those guys know what they are doing.

Good to know. I know have to figure out how I am going to wear or mount these cams. Thinking one on the chest or shoulder and one facing backwards. This way, I am getting frontal coverage and rear coverage.

There is one in Otown Fl with 1958 miles with VH exhaust. The dealer is asking 14,500 or best offer sounds like a good deal. My wife would know I'm crazy If I traded for it. I just turned 1,700 mi on my 15 I had for 2 months. The previous owner put 623 in 14 months.

Why trade for one when you got one? Or are you wanting two LRs? No one could fault you for wanting two LRs. They are that sweet.

16 was the first year for the LR S. I wanted to make a move on the one at my dealer. Saw it there back in late October. Needed to see how the elections worked out (my boss is an elected official). Boss won re-election and I was at the dealer just a few weeks later and it was gone.


You going to sell your bike or see what the dealer would give you in trade?
