        <![CDATA[ As per request of BamaTrider and Skip MMShadowT, I am making this introduction.


When I first moved to Colorado in 2001 (by the way, I am from the Cleveland, Ohio area originally), I was just doing one day rides on my 1986 Honda Shadow 500.
After a while, I had done all of the interesting one day routes I could do, so I need to expand my horizons to 3 and 4 day routes. That is when my 2000 Honda
Shadow ACE Tourer arrived on the seen ( 2005). It had hard bags which allowed me pack more and... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ AuggyD....what a trip down memory lane that was for me reading your post. As I was reading your post and refamialiarizing myself with some of these programs, I
happened to remember another, even though there are undoubtedly many more.
<br>
<br>
Does anyone remember the show called Winky Dink where you use to draw on a piece of plastic that clung to the TV screen? The viewer would help Winky Dink out
of certain situations by drawing a bridge or what was called for.

I&#39;ve come so close so many times to dropping my T, all while not moving. At my age it is tough to try to muscle up a T from falling. In return for doing
so, the muscle strain and aches and pains are reminders that I am not as young and strong as I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Welcome again, Phaedrus. I share the same dilemma as you and Dan in that I just can&#39;t quite make myself sell the T. I bought a GL1800 Wing last fall for
the missus and me to ride together. I thought that I would eventually have to sell the T, but just can&#39;t right now. I can&#39;t even stop shopping for it.
I got stuff still packed up in boxes that I haven&#39;t even installed yet. It&#39;s an addiction, I tell ya. Looks like you are addicted also. Welcome to the
club, my friend.

Welcome to the forum. I enjoyed reading your intro and can relate to changing bikes for personal reasons. It is wonderful that you are able to keep two bikes.
Your love for riding on that tourer will no doubt bring you many miles of happiness once you make a few adjustments.

As you can see from Fred&#39;s post, there is a wealth of information that members are willing to share. Take a look at Fred&#39;s Tourer seat and who knows,

			<description><![CDATA[ Phaedrus, welcome to the forum from far West Texas. I had the same uncomfortable feeling when I drove my Aero 750, especially after I put on the Mustang seat.
I put forward controls on it and it worked great. The Mustang seat and the forward pegs were the way to go for me in that particular situation. I need a little
more room on the T, but I haven&#39;t decided which way to go yet. Enjoy your new bike and stay safe. Take care.

You will find that there are a lot of us on this forum that have &quot;moved on&quot; to other bigger, &quot;better&quot;, bikes. Or, in my case, trikes. But!!

<br>
I&#39;m 6&#39;2&quot; tall with a 34.5&quot; inseam.  My Corbin Dual Tour Saddle, which I bought back in 2001 and have since ridden over 50,000 miles on, puts
me a little lower and farther rearward than the stock seat.  With it and the Cobra floorboards I installed 8 years and 65,000 miles ago I am sitting in the
ideal position for my body proportions.  If that does not do it for you another option is to send your stock seat to Bill &quot;Rocky&quot; Meyer.
