Helps prevern cramps. > Yup, floorboards are great for touring for that reason. I've been toying with the idea of getting one with a longer lever to get it out of the way. I thought about removing it not long after I bought the bike, but decided I prefer using it. This past summer I actually had to rely on it to shift as the bike is getting really hard to shift when it's cold. I'll check out the clutch this winter. Robert

I'd rather buy a Fiamm (and have, actually) horn and mount it on another bike than buy a BMW to get a bike with a decent horn!
