Hi, I'm new to the forum, but am here because I need some info when considering buying a Burgman. We're looking for a better long distance 2 up tourer than our VStrom(great bike, just can't make it work for me and my back, surprisingly enough). I've had a GL1800 which my wife loved, and she also loved a Victory Cross Country Tour which we demoed. However, I like smaller (and cheaper and better mileage). We are definitely considering a Burgman, but my wife really liked a good wrap around back rest.
Has anyone ever used a Matazu VIP trunk with the wrap around backrest on a Burgman? Would it interfer with opening the seat? Any issues with mounting a trunk on a model that has the built in back rest? I'd want to remove it, but don't know if that would leave a gap in the plastic and how to fill that.
For that matter, anyone know of a wraparound backrest that would fit a Givi E52 or something similar?
I've gone through the transmission threads and still don't have a good feel for how often there are problems and if the stopper bolt change eliminates most of the problems. Comments?
