lol, Nike... what a shit company, and even shittier shoes.

Been using Rokform handlebar mounts for over 5 years, before that I used RAM mount... never had a single problem with ANY of the Samsung phones I have owned over that time (10+ years total). With 12-15k miles put on my bike in a single year - that is real world testing. I'd say the problem is...

It's an iPhone design issue, not a problem with the mount at all...

Bike Master minis... they need a little modification to fit in that manner though. Like $30-40 on Amazon, they are sold in singles - so order two.

Androids (Samsung, Motorola, etc.) typically mount their camera and lenses to the mainboard with a different method than Apple. Been using handlebar mounts for 10 years and never had an issue... but I don't use Apple products either.

I believe it to be a combination of all the right/wrong things. Suspension settings and/or geometry mixed with cruise control set at just the right speed, and road-to-bridge then back to road segments caused some instability that just all went from bad to worse in less than a second. I checked...

The forks and stops had taken a beating, powder-coating was pealing on the frame at the triple-tree stops and the forks had a ding through the gold anodized finish into the fork tube. Wasn't worth it to me to spend more $$$ to repair seeing how much value my FTR1200 S had lost in just under a...

I would agree with your review from my first hand experience with Saddlemen seats on all of the Dyna's I owned over the years. I put 1000+ miles in a day on several different trips on those bikes and never got sore. Not plush, but firm and supportive - yet comfortable for hours on end. The...

You shouldn't let people know where you keep your goat, otherwise they will continue to get it - I've seen this before on many other forums. (y)

Ever think about moving away from that terrible situation to somewhere with more freedoms towards what YOU do with YOUR motorcycle?

All Simpson helmets SUCK at higher speeds... I have the Simpson Outlaw and it's terrible above 100mph. The Simpson helmets work great for cruising, but at higher speeds they bobble around quite a bit. They are also FAR from quiet, lots of wind noise, as well as being somewhat heavy. The only...

Speed & Strength Black 9 Moto shoes or TCX Street Ace shoes... both feel like a nice pair of Vans hi-tops but offer a lot more support and protection of ankle and heal area. I've got really flat feet since I was 19 y/o (suffered 3rd degree burns from mid-thighs down, a little over 30% of my...

If you look into some of the posts made here in the last 6 months, this really doesn't surprise me. Many people have had batteries crap out on them with their brand new FTR's, just like you had happen. I'm pretty sure they had a batch of shelved batteries that should have never found their way...

Sounds like another battery without enough cranking amps left in her to turn the bike over... should be covered under the warranty.

Congrats on your FTR purchase, and welcome to the worlds best FTR forum!
