Great news! Another "B" owner that loves his bike.
When you go for a seat up grade, give the Russell Day Long a good long look. I just got my third one last week. You can ride all day and not be hurting & your butt & back will be smiling.
Rode my V-Strom for 9 hours, 7 in wing & pouring rain. Got off, stood up straight, no aches or pains that day or the next. I was 68yo at the time. 76yo in April, still lovin' riding my "B".
