Humidity is worse for me when the temp gets near 75.
What lake do you live by? Daughter and grandkids are at Lake Vermillion today.

Hola, Woods. Nothing out of the ordinary to report. Use your own gauge of what constitutes ordinary and be guided accordingly.

BTW Mick, I looked all over the Internet for the aftermarket tour pack color combination, and that combo can't be found, not currently anyway.

i live in Grand Rapids( not Michigan). Sons lake lot is on Shoal lake, north of Nashwaulk.

my house is actually a block and a half south of the Mississippi River. There are many twists and turns of the River the first 70 miles or so. People say what do you mean, the south side of the Mississippi? It flows west to east through town.

Stan, I really like your bike. I love the chrome and the tour pack adds so much functionality, you'll stop being sad as soon as you start using it. I'm not setting the bar higher, just trying to get my bike back to where it was.

Thanks Chris. I do remember however, that your bar would be higher once you installed the Trask kit.

Kraus kit, but eother way... lol

Only an inch higher. Stock bars are about 9in and im going with about 10in but more pull back. Still aggressive stance, but I need more pullback now. Maybe in a year or so if I want to change it up I can. It's a modular system so I can swap out parts as I want.
