Thanks Alex

Like most people the stock springs don't sag much under my weight, and I would like more compliant suspension for road use. Any idea roughly what the cost would be to have a specialist re-spring my bike front & back? Also, does the stock DDC have enough range of adjustment via the dash to suit...

Kriega US30 strapped to the pillion works for me but I'm tempted by this set-up for easy on/easy off. Cool or not cool?!? https://sw-motech.co.uk/products/urban-abs-side-case-system-2x-165-l-bmw-s-1000-r-16?

That would have put you on course for 233 miles per tank assuming 17.5l even better than I managed! ? Sad state of affairs when I'm riding a superbike and get excited about mpg ??
