Halito Woods......coffee's on....hep yerself...... Trying to get back into my routine. Couple days off and I forgot what I have to do!! Couple more days and I get the weekend off. Gotta get some miles on the bike....but too hot to ride and enjoy. Plus I don't want to put mindless miles on right now. Still have things to transfer and waiting on new to install. Need to look for some floorboard extenders... move them out 1" from the frame, and away from exhaust. Anyone buy some recently?? And how about those little wind deflectors on the fairing....anyone have those? Do they work? Or will I need the fangs? I blocked off the fairing vent (no shut-off on this) and get quite a bit of wind up in my face. Seems to be coming from above, around, and below the fairing. Think I wanna try a higher windscreen, and would like input on deflectors vs fangs. Anyone got some input, feel free!!
Thanks all.....Lurker out.....
I wonder what riding a BWM would be like... Said no one ever!
Only 2 wheeled cycle that I rode that felt like you were riding on rails..no vibration just smooth riding.

My only con was the seat height....no adjustment so when at a stop I was tippy toes on the pavement.......and mine was a ''K'' bike....basically a 4 cylinder car motor set in a race frame...dry clutch ,drive shaft....rotor(s) for brakes. Mine was called a K-100 1986.bought it for 1500.00 sold it for 1800.00
Denny, Look up "harley triple tree wind deflector" on Amazoo. Cheap enough to try. Not sure if they will solve everything but help a little. Plus, they're under $20
Good morning all. Nice humps Greg! In regards to the BMW discussion I think I could certainly enjoy cruising on several models in the Heritage series. They sure look nice. Everyone ride safe.
Morning Wooders. Thanks for the humps Greg ! Heels and Humps gets my vote today.
Denny, unblock your fairing vent. It's there to address the kind of buffeting you are currently experiencing.
