I installed that windscreen this weekend. I rode about 50 miles on the highway yesterday, I am about your height, it was a big improvement over the stock screen. But had some buffeting on my helmet unless I hunched down. I like it, I would give it an 8 out of 10. Very easy to install, well...

I switched from a RoadStar 1600 to the NCX for commute efficiency. I added three GIVI hardcases for about a grand. I road two up with a course marshal on a bike race for about 4 hours and he was fine on the back, I think the case made him more comfortable. The NCX is great change from my large...

I believe the (AAA) Automobile Association of America also covers motorcycles. We have used it on a few vehicle issues and it is a good deal as it is linked to the member not the vehicle and with the plus plan it is 100 miles not the closest station.

Kaoko makes a different throttle lock costing an extra 5 dollars. I ordered the parts in the wrong order and have the Barkbusters on and the throttle lock not designed for those. I was planning on going to the hardware store and buying a longer version of the Kaoko bolt that will go over the...

My accessories arrived yesterday, so I got up very early (which annoyed my wife) and mounted my GIVI rear trunk before commuting into work. I am loving this bike, bought it last week and need to do first oil change at 600 miles tomorrow. Sadly while working in the garage I put the first...
