Today, 55 seems like a walk in the park and 70-80mph - well, a windscreen is almost mandatory most days for long rides. That is a very strong breeze to lean into hour after hour, mile after mile.
Rboe, I completely 100% agree. Now that you reminded me, the speed limit back when I had my 450 was 55mph and a w/s was not even a minor necessity at those speeds. And 2, 3, ... jobs were not required to refill the tank either. One year it was just a long wait in line.
I just confirmed - My w/s has shipped. I hope to have it installed and pics posted before the end of next week. Merry Christmas - to me of course and everyone of the wonderful members that assist everyone else like I have not seen on other forums I have viewed over the last few decades.
