Did you get your troublesome screen and seat sorted out?
Sorry, missed this before.
I tried a Cal-Si screen but found it too big, although they do come in different sizes. I'm going to look out for a flipped up version as and when I get round to it, the original is ok, but I'm sure there are better one out there, they are just silly money. As for the seat, I got Tony Archer to do me a remodel of the existing one and it's definitely better, not 250 miles a day better, but fine for 70/80 mile stints before a coffee and then get back on again. I'm still thinking about a RDL seat from the states, but I'll need to be certain as it's a shed load of money, so I'll get another 500/600 miles on the TA one before I bite the bullet if it does not wear in.
Is there any difference in the suspension setup comparing the K16 GT & the Bagger ? Which handles better (subjective I know). ? Is there more or less peg to tarmac gap ? (not easy to determine on a demo bike)
Overall which is more involving to ride ?
No more questions M'lud.
I borrowed a Bagger for 600 miles while my GTL was in getting serviced, it was just a weekend, but they were ok with me going away for two days on it. The bagger is easier to use at low speeds and in car parks, the seat, bars and screen are different also, but no real difference in use than the GTL other than it's lower and easier at low speed. There is less ground clearance, I was on it just one up and was fine, but two up with luggage I'm not so sure I could still get the angles I currently do. The footboards were not for me either, they further reduce ground clearance and gave me too much of a stretch position. You also have to move your feet back for the controls, so only useful if you like that position and have long roads with no turns for miles - rare in the UK unless your on a Motorway. Both bikes have the same geometry and are almost identical once your moving, I'd say if you are mostly solo a bagger is a great alternative to a GT/GTL, but if you do mostly 2 up get one of the latter ones.
I would love one but the leg position is just too cramped for me.
Do the foot pegs lowering kit make much difference.
I've not tried one, but they will obviously do the trick although reduce ground clearance, but I would have though an inch would not take away much in real life cornering. It may be worth looking at the seat height though, they come as standard with about 750/780mm depending on the year, which is very low, but I got a high version at 810mm and it was fine, but still a bit uncomfortable for me (arse wise), so I got Tony Archer to re do it and it's now more like 840mm and easier on the legs as I'm 6'1".
