Subject: Some questions...


Hi to all,

My name is Holger, my bike is a RD07 and I have some questions...

- On my last trip I saw an AT from the Netherlands with crash bows looking
really solid! These crash bows were built of two tubes (stainless steel?) on
each side with a diameter around 50 mm. They were fixed with two clamps to
the front-frame of the bike directly so they did not use the screws where the
radiators and the aluminium engine cover are fixed. Now to my question: Does
anybody have experience with these crash bows and where can I buy them? May
be someone is an 'crash-bow-expert': Which crash bows are recommended to buy?
I had an old model of crash bows produced by 'Schuh'. These crash bows were
fixed to the screws of the radiators and to the screws of the aluminium
engine cover and were not very solid at all...

- I am looking for an exhaust muffler which is smaller than the original
zeppelin-sized muffler or for an exhaust system which is horizontal so that I
can use standard luggage boxes. Does anybody has information about different
exhaust systems regarding the luggage problem?

- In spite of the fact that the AT is a brilliant bike I am not a real fan of
the seat. Does anybody has information about more comfortable seats,
especially for two people? My wife does not like the bike due to the
declination of the seat...

I had a look at the older mails but I could not find the answers... So please
be patient if you know these questions and please don't flame me. A short
mail should be sufficient...;-)

Ciao,

Holger
