New to me 80SG!

Yup, those highway pegs are where my feet are most of the time on LD rides. Stock pegs are just too uncomfortable for me for any length of time and you get all the heat from the engine on your legs.

I tend to use stock pegs most of the time, but it is good to alternate to move butt pressure around and help out the knees. (Yeah, I am old).

Yeah, I use the stock pegs and even the passenger pegs to get the blood back in my butt. The highway pegs are the most comfortable for this old guy though.

The highway pegs kill my gas mileage though. My long legs are high wind resistance.

Nah, it's the bell bottoms from the '70's that kill your gas mileage!
But really, it's just trying to keep a steady speed that does the most good. See you July, with my T from 2011.

Ha ha ha, My butt got to big for all my old bell bottoms so I had to give them to the Salvation Army.

I do have some really comfortable soft cotton cargo pants but the wind makes them climb up above the knee if I wear them when riding.

I can adjust my speed with the throttle lock on with my leg position. If I'm doing 70 with my feet on the highway pegs, if I move back to stock I gain 10MPH. Another 5 if I use the rear pegs.

LOL.....I use this method to pass cars on the highway without touching the throttle.

Looking forward to meeting you in person Ray. Been doing my best to get Cody to ride along.

Haha! The mental picture of the double parachute effect!

So if you lay forward with your legs straight out, warp-speed!!!

Thanks for the question, the bike is running the BPR6EIX. It's a resistor plug, been running them since 2011. I unscrew the metal nub off the top so the threads are exposed and push on the plug cap.

I have heard about running resistor plugs and resistor caps. I had been running these well before I became knowledgeable a few years ago of potential issues. I understand the theoretical issue but in reality do resistor plugs and caps really cause damage or issues? Since everything works fine I left them in.

I would like to hear some opinions or facts on the matter.

Me Too !
I don't know whether to blame this combination or not ?

Early in the season last year I had iridium plugs foul, resister caps and BPR6EIX resister plugs. At the time I just said stuff happens and spent another $30+ for more of the same BPR6EIX resister plugs.
This time though, brand new resister caps and wires trimmed back, so far so good.
I really think the reduced spark of the 2Xs resister to blame for the fouling last spring ? ? ? OPsOs please !
