Twintour, that turned really well. Nice work! I've been considering a similar transformation on my xb12scg. How do you like that fly screen? Does it do a decent job of keeping the wind off your chest and up over you head. Is that an American Sportbike purchase? |

Thunderstruck , it get the wind off your chest,not over your head. The cee Bailey wind screen might do that. I got it used ,but think its the same one from american sportbike. I also had a laminar lip on my stock flyscreen , it work well at reducing air off your chest. |

For those who made it to the races at Summit Point, and were disappointed after Monday's ASRA Thunderbike race 'cause Nate won, it is time to rejoice! Nate was penalized 2 positions for blocking so Bilansky and Estok finished 1-2. Sipp, Buchbinder, Rozinsky, and Rozinsky (yeah, two of 'em) rounded out positions 4 thru 7. Way to ride! |

Hey, of course we'll still hang with you.. and ride with ya and what not.. until of course, you get a new Buell.. then we'll be even happier to have you back in the family.. so to speak.. But as long as you're still on two wheels.. it's all good.. Besides, I'm sure we can get you to buy a round now that you're all Three cylinder and such pretense.. hehehehehe.. |

There was a nice post in the XB section for trick hard bags for an R. I was a pretty slick install. He used the rear seat as the mount, so you take the whole frame off with a key. |
