Hello all,
I'm Ed from the upstate of South Carolina. I live 4 miles from the BMW mfg. site in North America!
Since last September I'm the proud owner of a 1290SD! Orange/White (Their faster than Black )
I have really done this bike right.. It started with the full race kit from KTM .. all titanium Akro system, butterflies shut, air box mod, K&N
ECU remap.. Purchased the Dyna Jet Power Commander for the 1290, but spoke to Dyno-Jet last week and they still have no map for this kitted bike. (They offered free tuning if I deliver it to Las Vegas, so they can sell the maps!) Of course being a southern gentleman, I offered to have it there if they paid the cross US trip, along with hotel/pocket cash and nightly entertainment It is Las Vegas !
I'm a tad over 50 years young and road raced from 1984 VFR500F until 1996 CBR900RR. Since then I've slowed down on several H.D.'s and had temporary loss of sanity with a RC51 and now a 1290 SD. I look forward to meeting other owners and reading the ideas and mods..
I'm extremely happy with the performance of mine with all the mods and lack of weight.. (Catalytic converter + passenger adds)
Keeping the dream alive in twenty oh one five!
Fast Eddie
