Yes I did, TBH its just a matter of getting used to it, unbolting the brake and clutch levers and rotating them around the bars so that they were set in a more comfortable position helped alot to. Filtering etc now I dont think about. I'd only had the bike a few weeks when I wrote that post.
I have done a bit of touring on it.
I've been to Ireland and Scotland on it. I rode from Loch Lommand all the way back to Somerset in one go on it. I've been to france as well on it.
Its not what it is meant for but IMHO it copes with ease with touring. OK its not as good as a full on tourer or something like a VFR does, but as long as I travel light and dont carry to much stuff its fine.
