Just out of curiosity, on your bike with the tour pack like that - can you rest comfortable against it while having a normal position at the handle bars? Or are you pulled away from the back rest?

jbob, I love the look of your bike with the TP like that. I'll probably have to switch racks on mine because I have the passenger location, and so far I've not had a passenger. Is your detachable?
PS. I also love your shield the way it is

Works for me......But Im biased

I can rest my back against the pad and it really is like sitting in a comfortable chair. I can reach the handle bars with ease, so that is no problem. Put the cruise on, legs on the foot pegs, lean back and these old bones can stay up with the best of them.

The windshield will stay. I have a clock works shorty if anyone wants it, just pay the postage.

It's my BIL's bike. It's detachable. And that's the KW shield. He just bought a taller one from Cee Bailey. He doesn't like the "wind"

Great suggestion! Thanks!
