I was in your dilemma last year; owning a R1150RT, and loving it's two wheel capabilities, but wanting a rig that also handles well. I looked at conversions, including changing the trail of the front paralever suspension. I wanted a rig that I can travel far with, and that is easy to drive.
I ended up purchasing an older Honda GL1100-EML rig, and I am really glad I went that way. I have the RT and all its two wheel attributes. And I also have a rig that performs quite well-not as sporty as the RT-but it is very easy to drive. Consider an older dedicated rig, with car tires, leading link fork, and beefed up suspension. I found my rig for $6,000, after about 6 months of searching.

Purchasing a good used rig is not a bad idea as Mike mentioned. They are out there and can be found at a decent price if patience prevails.
I am curious thoug...IS the Armec Sidewinder itself really selling for that much money? If so WHY????
