    Always wondered about those seats. Does any of the 'boing' transfer through to handling, through the body, or just compress-down ? I'd always imagined things going a bit pear-shaped if you hit a bad bump at speed, where you needed body-stability to control things

    Cool. Looks like a lot of fun. Couldn't be any more different to the Harley.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    The rattles, smoke, vibes would be the same. Forward motion would show some difference however.

    A 500km trip might show a difference in riding comfort though!

    Provided it's not a hardtail Pan with bars that apes hang onto. Starve your hands of blood flow and make you fall off from numb knuckles and balls.

    A mate of mine rode his KTM 3 hundy from Otorahanga to the Dusty butt and back a couple of years ago. Yes he took a couple of weeks off work

    I just finished fitting a McCruise Unit to the Africa Twin. Really nicely built kit from across the ditch. Very comprehensive and accurate installation instructions for type. Works well, very happy. Because my AT is not ride by wire, the kit includes a servo and cable interface unit which makes it a tad more expensive than the kit for the RBW versions. The latest AT has factory cruise control.

    The little computer sits under the pillion seat and most of the 6 hour install was making the connections to power, brake switch, coil, speed sensor etc.

    Be interested in how you find it.
    My previous bike had a fast idle lever.
    Could crank it on and have a good stretch with it chugging at about 4000 rpm.
    The one I have now doesn't have it.
