Wow what a difference the screen makes. Good looking bike!

Thanks! Yes it definitely made it more aggressive looking. I feel as if this bike controls the road in a sense. It draws a lot of attention and drivers are instantly jumping out of my way. Which is good because at least I know I'm being seen and not left in a blind spot. Already had a shootout with a new camaro and corvette and I was just cruising along minding my own business!

That screen looks great! How many HP did it add?

At least 25! On another note I bought an essential part to owning a bike. A helmet! It's not required here in Arkansas but might as well have one..

I can agree. Although it depends what I plan to do before I go riding. If it's just cruising 70 and down with no antics, I might forego it. Anything else, a helmet gets put on. Plus wind noise and hell just the fucking wind gets old FAST!

I'd use one no matter what speed! Pavement and a skull don't mix whether 10 mph or 70 mph. Hell, my brother fell in a parking lot and hit his head and was in the hospital a couple months. They had to cut his skull open and operate to relieve the pressure and stop the bleeding

I can completely agree but if I feel like riding without one, it's nice to know I have the choice.

Wear a helmet...is all I can say. You never know what kind of weird situation someone else is going to put you in!

Yep, I agree. Better safe than sorry. Had a dog hit my front wheel one time and sent me over the bars and the bike over me. Hit the pavement hard enough that my face still scraped the blacktop. Got the scar in my eyebrow to remember it by. Open face helmet mind you. Long time ago too before full faced helmets were so common.

I've never disagreed, just saying it's nice to have a choice if I want to risk it. Surprised no one has brought up clothes yet. Shorts and a tshirt are my current riding attire

You can do what ever you want.. Just hate to see a new thread started on here with pics of you in a hospital bed or worse.. That's all.. Be safe man!

Did the break in period oil change. Man those little snaps on the lower fairing were a bitch!
