I am a new member and I have been lurking around for a little while. I bought a brand new S40 and I am really enjoying it. I had never really ridden a motorcycle previously, but I had wanted one for a long time and was really wanted to cut down on fuel expenses. I am really enjoying the bike and have started to feel really comfortable on it.
There are a number of common "complaints" about the bike with seat comfort and the like, but I see a lot of talk also about being a little cramped as well. I am 6'1" and about 190 pounds or so and do find the riding position to leave a little more to be desired at times. I have seen that Ed L has created some forward controls for an extremely reasonable price and was interested in them (but I have to post at least one message to be able to send him a PM
) Any other forward controls that work? The Seeger Cycles set look nice as well, though pricey, but they say for 2000 savage, do these also work on the new S40's as well? Thanks in advance for any information and it is really cool to see such an avid following for this bike which makes me feel like I made a wise decision by purchasing it
