Hi John:

I have a couple of questions for you: where are you calling in from? and
what is meant by the term 'stockist'?

> MRA Screen -is noise level increased, better wind protection ? stockist

As with all things...it depends.  I didn't find the MRA that good for me,
and I went back to the stocker.  However, my saddle is higher (taller) than
stock and I think I'm one of the taller people on the list at 6'2".  Of
course your mileage may vary.

> Corbin Seat-is it worth changing from the standard saddle ?

Again...it depends.  I wouldn't buy a Corbin saddle if it was the last one
on earth.  Since I can't say enough bad things about them, I won't even
start.  As with everything though, others have had different experiences
with Corbin that I, so you might want to to check the archives to see what
others have written.
HOWEVER, I can direct you to Rick Mayer,
http://mayercycle.homestead.com/MAYERCYCLE.html
who will rebuild your saddle on the stock pan to whatever you want.  I'm
VERY satisfied with the work he did on mine.

There is a device called the ThrottleMeister (?) which is one type--not
cheap--something like $100.  There is also a much less expensive one called
a Vista Cruise- -you can see it on Kevin Hawkin's home page @
http://www.kevinhawk.com/.

> Mirrors-can an "extended" direct replacement item be purchased, stockist ?

I purchased a beautiful set of extenders made by Ralph Weiss's  White Line
Performance in Germany.  They are color matched (perfectly) and if you
didn't know they weren't a stock item, you wouldn't know.  If you'd like
more detail, email me off list and I'll send you some photos of the
extensions. (Who out there has Ralph's web page--I don't!)

Also, I'm told that certain BMW mirrors will work as a direct replacement.

> TTR
> Aerox

Ok, I give up.  What are "TTR" and "Aerox"
