It's definitely faster Larry, although I am still not able to push it too much yet. Abut 300 miles left before I take it back for the dyno tune. I should have picked up about 20hp and I don't think the mpg has been affected much at all.


I'm 6'3 and tall in the upper body so I've been running a 12" for a while now. Thought I'd see what the 10" recurve was like

LOL The 12" is a LRS too. At highway speeds it tends to create an almost bubble effect. If you are riding on the highway in the rain it kind of keeps the mist rolling around in it. I am hoping a lower windshield will create a different air flow in those situations

Tracy, I had an 11" or 12" LRS recurve on mine but the top edge was right at eye level. Dropped down a size to see over it and worked fine. But I also have the vent in my faring. I had also tried a HD recurve and it was worse than the stock one.

It just so happens that I ventured into the Forums today for the first time in a long time today. I was thinking about all the guys I had met, and ridden with, from this forum as I was out on a ride today, and I figured I should check back in and see how things are. It's good to see that nothing has changed in here! I stopped posting for a couple of reasons, but that is neither here nor there. Life has been good for me, despite my "issues"

(at least I know what Al thinks of me). Lots of golf and motorcycle riding amongst my other hobbies. Beyond that, I've been busy trying to avoid idiots and morons, but I have not been too successful in that endeavor. They're everywhere! I do hope that all you Woods are doing OK!!
