I'm likely just going to get the new fastback LR when ti comes out in a couple weeks, but I do like the look of the new luggage box. Wonder if it's got any...
Greg, Is twiddling thumbs really a good rehab strategy? Just kidding. Hope you are feeling better. tom o. (enjoying your old Baron) ... -- Thomas J. Olofsson ...
By looking at it I would "think" it should make a slight difference in speed although it does weigh 5 pounds I was looking at getting it too however I may just...
Just a quick note about the summer pneumonia: I made a discovery this year. Fish oil (despite the disgusting taste - or perhaps because of it?) makes a real...
I am thinking about putting a X-Low tiller on my Baron. I want a better forward view. Has anyone done this? Any problems? tom o. ********************** ...
I've done this, and it's great. I'd recommend it for nearly everyone. The handlebars sit at a much better height, which is much more comfortable on the arms...
I am in the process of putting together my new Baron (finally) and the generic Optima directions show rubber seat spacers (washers) that appear to go between...
David, Thanks. I will give it a try. I won't be springing for a CF tiller. I think the stock X-Low tiller should be plenty. I know this dissappoints everyone. ...
... Nor does mine. Never noticed them on other Barons either. Mark van Gorkom. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version:...
Ed, All of the Optimas I have seen have these spacers between the seat and the brackets. They are a really snug fit on the bolt - you need to actually thread...
Matt - That pretty much sums it up. Even when I switch out the stock seat for someone, I always transfer over the spacers. Dana Matt Elliston <mpe@...>...

... as long as the X-Low tiller. It is a bit lighter...about .3lbs. ... IMHO the VK2 tiller, while very very nice (and carbon!) and has a great angle for...
Or do they? I've been struggling to find a good way to haul my baron from place to place on my wife's Jetta. When I took it on tour over Easter, I took the...
Greg, This is a good question, and whilst I don't have the answer, I know what doesn't work for me! We have a Toyota Camry sedan (which I think is called a...
Personally, I just stuff the bike in the car, usually after removing all passenger seats, but I do have a hatchback, even if it's smaller than anything you'll...
... The article doesn't mention the make or model :( You'll just have to find a carrier where you can remove the frame clamp and replace it with a long bolt. ...
Finally got my new Baron on the road; still making adjustments, to the bike and to my riding style. I'm pretty sure that my chain is too long. What's a good...
I do it this way; Put the bike in the big chainring, biggest rear gear. Your rear derailleur should be _almost_ at its full stretch, but not quite. The Park...
I have two main methods of transport. My wife's got a Toyota Corolla, and the Baron fits in fine with the back seat down and the wheels removed. My old BMW...
Howdy folks, My wife and I just moved to a condo and as a result we've been forced to consolidate many of our pursuits as if we were moving onto a boat. As ...
Hi Guys, I'm from Holland. And my nickname is Brewskie. I'm from Heerhugowaard. That's about 20 miles from the factory of Optima, in the Northern part of...
... Nice, a Baronowner out of Heerhugowaard. I think Optima sells extended nosepieces, just give them a call. Why do you want to use tape? anti squeeking or...

Hi Brewskie, I`ve owned 3 Barons, but only one of them had a loose fitting boom like the one in your photo. Like some others have done, I fixed the problem by...
Dear Barons, I ordered a long nosepiece / boom, after Edoardo Mugge from Optima informed me that they indeed have longer ones in stock. He told that it is not...
