LOVE my Ilium Sport Boards! :-*

My 1999 K12LTC had the best seat ever.  BMW or otherwise.  Did the Butt Lite rally in July 1999 and did 5000 miles in 5 days, plus the ride from VA to MN.  The only real pain I had was removing my ear plugs after hours and hours of riding.  If I could duplicate th...

It spends too much time in the garage!
