RE: Easy question - the Ferret - 12-17-2015
Geesh, nothing like being on a retro forum with a bunch of "old guys" that can't post pics

Good eye, Ferret...Hey, I'm just 79, still in my prime. :-)............Anyway, I'm an Ohio native so be gnice to your elder Buckeyes. Now let me just check on which button to push to get this note published...

Solo installing might well be very difficult as sometimes we needed all four of our hands. It is the 22" high one. at 5'9" I still look over the top. There were no written instructions but they sent two 8 x 10" inch photos showing how things fit up and we had no problems getting it done. I rode the bike with my earplugs in as usual and also with heavy gloves and so far it functions as well as any windshield I've ever had on my 22 bikes since 2008. There is no buffeting whatever and noise is also very faint. It looks just like the windshield shown on the link posted in this thread. I don't have ready means to take a photo.
All in all, I am most satisfied.
I also have the same shield on my 2013 and am also satisfied. It's quite nice in the cold weather.
I posted comments and pics in this thread.

Just joking Bob. Hey in our age poll we have 5 guys listed as 75+. Every one of them is my hero!
RE: Easy question - Bokobob_imp - 12-17-2015
Ferret, I figured that you were just joking but I am a born "agitator." Neat to have fun on any given day, and at 79, days are "who knows?" from being no longer given.
Also.. to CurlyJoe, I have also begun to notice some wind noise and air hitting the helmet at higher speeds, in my case above 65 mph...I do not categorize it as "buffeting" but each rider has his own perspective.

I think it's great guys like you and Rocky are still riding. Gives me hope. Family history suggests otherwise, but I'm going to give it a shot.
RE: Easy question - Bokobob_imp - 12-17-2015
Ferret, eat lots of blueberries, and take it real easy on the fat grams and pizza, etc..I eat no junk food ever, a day at a time..no sugar, no flour, no wheat...No processed foods..I eat like a king as well...Now, about exercising, that I don't do hardly ever, but should.

"easy on the fat grams and pizza, etc.. no junk food ever, ..no sugar, no flour, no wheat...No processed foods.."

Bokobob I think I may be near you, Charlotte County VA. Oh, and I can post pictures........as long as one of the boys does it for me....complete with the adolescent eye roll.
RE: Easy question - Bokobob_imp - 12-18-2015
Southwend, hey, I retired from IBM in 98 and I still don't keep up with modern stuff..My cell phone is just that - a phone. I never text....I have never taken a photo with it....I don't feel I am missing anything because of that...I can post links to take the recipient to photos.
Life is good.
