A recently found one, from across the pond.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it would be the tourer of choice - except for the drive shaft...

I heard the ones from the LT's last longer due to the lesser forces applied to them, that's why I got one from an LT as a replacement!

Jim, I seem to remember Steve saying that he enjoyed the ride of the LT even as the pillion(or the other name )

Not to put a damper on J.O.'s and M.O.'s riding habits, but did anyone else notice the published spec's listing the GVWR at 1063lbs for the RS and 1103lbs for the LT.
Either one a little light for his posted 1200 scale wt.
Don't suppose this might have some impact on his tire issues?
