I loved the TLR. I sold it (big mistake) after I bought a Hayabusa. Personally, I felt very comfortable (mind and body) and in sync with the bike. Never had a problem. Needless to say, I am in the market for another TLR. If the right deal comes along on a clean bike. I won't get rid of the 'busa, but I do miss my TLR with the 2Bros. Also, I didn't have any problems with tankslappers and it is definitely an attention getter. What are you waiting for? Go set off some car alarms. VROOM! VROOM!
