It's OK...I will be riding thru Grand Junction in July.....already planning on sticking Suzuki Sticks all over your house! lol
Sorry to put ideas in your head

Mounted and wired DK Custom's Stealth LED Driving Lights. Replaced the OEM Seat Screw with Rivco's 2 1/2" Knurled Seat Knob. The longer knob is much needed with the one inch longer than stock Ultimate Seat. Did some quick cleaning with Purple Slice to remove bugs and lite grime from yesterday's run to Dealership for their April Lunch Ride. Maybe some installs tomorrow, but best of all.....some ride time!!
Rivco Seat Knob....no more fumbling with a screwdriver deep in that dark cavity.

Wes, I would keep an eye on that seat knob and make sure it stays tight. I had something similar on a VTX several years ago and could not keep it tight (never tried blue lock tight) and finally lost it somewhere. Hope this one is better than what I had then. Keep us posted, if it works for you, I may try one. I like the idea.
It is what it is.

Not today, but the last winters I did some things on my 2015 TGU (the list is missing the optical trimming)
Thanks for the inspiration!
Winter 16/17:
- Baker Reverse - what a great piece of hardware!
- Mid-Step - best accessory ever
- Tourpack relocation kit
- DK Comfort Lift Kit - good, but could be better, with better suspension
- Wind Splitter windshield
Winter 17/18:
- SE259E cam - more torque, some more HP
- Penzl exhaust, deep mellow sound, with step less volume control
- Oil cooler with fan
Winter 18/19:
- Stage 1 intake - wow, what a grunt
- Wilbers springs and oil in the fork - taut but still sensible
- Legend Gear Lift Kit and Air Suspension - nice height, more comfortable but taut
- Reinforced clutch (original dead after 19“ miles)
- Rocker locker
Now I think it is finished.
The bike is now very agile (important here on the Europe roads) but still comfortable and has a good pull from low rpms and a great additional push over 3000.
Probably the BMW GS hunting on windy mountain roads was the reason for the early death of the clutch (the 2 weeks in Norway were a torture for motor, clutch and suspension).
Hopefully now I’m better prepared for Scotland this year.
Today at the Sudelfeld
OS X is like a wigwam: no windows, no gates and an apache inside!
Thanks for looking out! I'll be sure to check it a couple times weekly over the next month ensure it stays tight. Hopefully, it works out.....if not may have to try Fuzzy's tried and proven seat screw mod.
I like it!! If mine doesn't out, will go-to your mod.

Had the brake fluid flushed for front and rears this morning.

Happy to report that I haven't had anyone have any actual experience with the condition you describe. My conditions are a bit different; the Relocation Kit I used only provides the Tour Pak with a two inch max move to the rear. Also my Ultimate Tall Boy Seat is one inch longer than the stock seat. But I'm thinking that given the thickness and forward curvature of the passenger backrest, it would be quite difficult for my passenger to actually sit upright and then have a certain part of their derriere directly above my extended seat knob.

LOL ... sorry ... but I just have to laugh at your report ... thanks for that ... nice to see that we can discuss things in a non vulgar way and with a touch of humor (although, if the scenario above actually happened, it would not be in the least funny). I do think it was a good point to bring up when using the 3" back option. Anyway ... just wanted to let you know you put a smile on this old face ..
