@netcrawler He might have paid nothing, but how long would he have to wait. Not so much for immiediate care but for return reconstructive surgery. I just read some stuff about your healthcare system (I'm half Swede) and well, not so good.

$132.000!!!! Out of your own pocket? Here in Sweden you had to pay nothing.

Sorry for the RIP man. At least you are in one peace and able to post.

Thanks. What about the Akarapovic exhaust system? Did you notice any power increase?

@johnfloan - This was the first time I ever really used full throttle, so I don't have anything to compare it to, sorry. I will admit I bought the exhaust mostly for better sound. The bike is mechanically limited to 140-145mph or so anyway (6th gear redline), and will get there just fine completely stock. I chose Akrapovic because I got a really great deal on it, and most people I know went with Remus, so I wanted to be different.

What windscreen do you use on this clip?

@johnfloan - I got that from Wunderlich America, it is their Touring Windscreen, part number 8110121-123. Mine was the "medium" size. I'm 6'01" and should have probably gotten the "high" version. Though this one worked out very well indeed! I think they still sell it for the 2007-2010 R1200R, not sure about the 2011 and up version though. Hope that answers your question!

@jasonsitu - Long story short, NO. I'm still trying to get rid of $132,000 in medical bills... Because of course I'm responsible because I was on the bike, right... Even though he was found criminally liable in court, I still get all the bills. Makes no sense whatsoever. Good news is that I'm looking at getting another bike here VERY soon, and I'm working on getting everything transferred out of my name. So looks like it should all work out, just takes time, unfortunately.
