Looks good. What's the reason for trim around the fairing screen?

Saeng TA Stealth Edging. Doesn't look like they make it anymore, but they have a new product out that does pretty much the same thing.

It's a little lip that comes off the shield, stops a lot of buffeting, and stuff like rain and crap from the road from coming over the top. Works pretty well.

I have no idea, as it came with the bike, and doesn't have any branding. I need to take it off, sand it down and do it up in gloss.

Replaced the front brake switch because the brake light was staying on after releasing the lever. I posted on that in the Tech area. That was pretty easy and solved my problem. Before that, added the HD "fangs" to cut down on the updraft. I will call that one a win. Some people don't like they way they look but I'm good with it, particularly since it seems to be functional. I also added a windshield bag to hold small stuff. Was fiddly to install but works great now, Photos below. Sometimes hard to see black things on an all black bike.

Less than an hour, start to finish.

Before and afters...



Looks good but did it mess up the handling?You'd imagine the turn in will be **** with a 'taller' front to rear ratio

Considered trading in for the new ST, decided the advanblack route instead to convert to a sport glide st instead.

Ordered 13.5 rear mono shock from parts giant Tuesday night. It’s already delivered at the house. Great turn around! I remember I ordered Avon cobra’s for my dyna few years back and they arrived the next day during a nor Easter.
