I'm trying out a Biltwell Tracker High bar for more of a motard riding position on the roadster. First 20 miles felt right. I'll keep the stock bar, because I like that, too, but have a Biltwell Mid-rise bar for cheap if someone wants to try that out.

Thinking about the Biltwell Maynards for mine.
There's a new quater cafe fairing out there that fits.

DId the dealer today. New stuff, as in adjustable levers for Harleys. They are really cool.

But I did not purchase them.

I guess they'll fit most.

It rained all weekend, which is actually good because all the ice in my driveway melted and salt should be washing away. I put the bike up on the lift and did the ping test on the front spokes. Some were dull, so I tightened them up. They aren't all perfectly in sync, but are better than they were.

Looks good. Can you post pics without the "glow"? I've been considering this stuff for a while. I like how Cvaria's came out. Not sure what color I'd go with...

Yes, the burly fairing is amazing. I am 6'3 and the fairing removes the wind from my chest and just barely catches the top of my helmet, so very minimal buffeting with a full face.

Also enjoying the thrashin supply bags as I didn't want to put too big of a bag on the bike, but needed to carry my dinner leftovers in something

I like the white against the chrome because it's pretty subdued without lights hitting it. I went with:
