Hi all

Hello everyone, 'new' (to me at least) S1000RR owner here.

Have just changed up from a Honda VTR1000 SP-2 (lovely bike), not managed much mileage on the new machine yet due to the awful June weather we're having here in NW England but can already tell this is an exceptional bike.

Going to invest in some R&G protection products (cotton reels, fork protections & aero crash bungs) for the bike first, then probably some stomp grips. Might even consider an end can at some point in the not-too-distant future.

hello mate and welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum buddy, enjoy the bike and ride safe.

Hello & welcome to warp speed
Save you're penny's & don't bother with an end can as they do nothing , full system is the only way to bring the noise! ;D

Welcome fellow northerner
Not to far from town me self

Welcome mucka. If protections your aim may I suggest some case savers they kiss the tarmac first and are £150 a piece.

Cheers for the replies, much appreciated.

Anyone else have stomp grips or similar fitted to their S1000RR? Noticed I am sliding towards the tank a touch more than I am happy with under braking, had similar 'problems' on the SP-2 and the stomp grips sorted it out a treat.

I'll look into full systems & engine cases as well, thanks!

;D

Have you tried moving your balls up to the tank before you brake, or, ride with your Bollocks against the tank all the time?

Cheers. BTW, I go for the 'fag packet width' gap between pods & tank most of the time....

[size=14pt]Why?[/size]

Just feels more comfortable to me when riding rather than being jammed back or forward against bits of the bike.

Fair enough, good answer , I just wondered why so many bods sit like that.

I sit with my bits lightly against the tank, my knees gripping the tank and heels are tight on the heel guards. My lower body is fixed onto the bike and does not move under hard braking or hard acceleration.
