Excellent! Keep the shiny side up, but not too shiny!

Let the farkling begin! Now you will be poor like the rest of us.... ::025:: There are a lot of choices on windshields or a Madstad windshield bracket to raise the stock shield up.

Welcome aboard! There's a couple of extensive windscreen threads around here. I swapped mine last Friday :)

That's how it starts. 325 turns into 380, turns into 425...and so on, and so on.

Congrats on the new bike. It's a winner.

Re: Luggage!

Everyone takes the piss about me riding with all 3 boxes on the bike but the piss taking soon stopped last week when I got jacket, trousers and helmet stowed away on the bike and walked around in the sun not sweating my bollocks off! Traction control is bloody brilliant on loose surfaces so I'm off to find some forest tracks and have some fun!

I have a Givi Airflow, a bit ugly, but very adjustable, also take a look at the Madstad brackets ::008::

Ugly is a bit of an understatement. ::025::
