Bought a pair and hated them. Too restrictive for a man (IMHO) but would be fine for a woman.

I've got Olympia riding pants and Scorpian kevlar-lined jeans, but my favorite is a pair of Duluth Trading canvas work pants because the crotch has a gusset for, as they say, "extra freedom of movement". Keeps my boys happy! I've traded the pads and kevlar for a well-placed gusset. https://tinyl.io/4V6W

..they are engineered and built to eliminate turbulence and buffeting.

My experience is that they not only tolerated but expressed interest in my Tracer; kept asking to hear that triple engine sound! I maintain my MOA membership, even though I traded my 1200RT for a Tracer, to keep up with their rallies and weekend getaways.

I like my Madstad screen (engineered to eliminate vacuum/turbulence behind the screeen). MadStad Motorcycle Windshields Adjustable motorcycle windshield systems. Designed to eliminate...

+1 on the Madstad. Windshields create vacuum, and thus turbulence & helmet buffeting, behind the shield. Madstad engineered an adjustable (height & angle) mounting system to allow air flow behind the screen, eliminating the vacuum. (Calsci is another company that addresses the vacuum problem).

Well, after messing around with fuses, a continuity tester and a mulitmeter, I found the problem: the TomTom head unit was not fully seated in the Active Dock, so it wasn't making electrical contact. When I repositioned the unit I had it too low; it was hitting the handlebar thus not allowing it to fully seat. So, what'd I learn? Check the easy stuff first before getting excited.

My TomTom Rider 400, powered through the 12V cigarette outlet, used to turn on & off with my ignition switch. Recently I unplugged it to mount handlebar risers. After I reconnected it, it no longer turns on nor off with the ignition switch; I have to manually do it. Any ideas what happened? (I've reached out to TomTom support, but wanted to check you guys, too). Thank you.

Welcome! Since you're a new rider I would like to suggest some practice drills. This site has drills at various levels of difficulty to master. Have fun! Drills | MotoJitsu Ever wonder what to practice on your motorcycle? MotoJitsu...

Even though I no longer have a BMW, I keep my membership to MOA active for 2 reasons: the rallies and their anonymous book, and the magazine is interesting, too. The anonymous book is exactly what @nhchris is asking about. It's printed and a phone app, which is updated lately. (BTW, when I went to a MOA rally last year it seemed everyone was curious about my Tracer and wanted to hear the engine!)

Hmm... could be an option for me in 10 years when I'm 78. Of course, it'll be electric, or who knows what, by then!

Thanks everyone for some pointers. I decided to go with the Evotech levers which I found on eBay. It took about a week and a half to get them over the pond to the US.

I've got my stock clutch and brake levers adjusted as close as they'll get to the handle bar. However, I'd like them just a little closer. What solutions or recommendations for adjustable levers do you have? Thank you.
