Hi folks!
First, I love this forum! You've all been a help and inspiration. You've helped me install gaitors on my newly purchased DLX, helped me decide on the Road Comet II fairing, helped me figure out what kind of luggage to go with for touring, etc... I wanted to share with you how the bike is turning out, but haven't mastered the photo thing here yet. Some of you already have visited my blog, which I DO know how to work with, so I put some pictures up there: http://karlvandervelden.com/the-new-scooter/
All the upgrades I've done are specifically with touring in mind. I want to testify here that the Road Comet II absolutely obliterated all the wind management issues I was concerned about in an earlier post. What a beautiful addition as well! The OEM luggage rack functions and looks perfect on this bike too. After seeing pictures of what happens when the engine cases touch ground unexpectedly, I have to say that the engine guards are giving me peace of mind too. Grip Puppies are miraculous. And in my opinion, the fork gaitors should have come installed by the factory...they literally complete the bike. At the moment, I can't think of a single thing the bike lacks now, except tens of thousands of miles on the odometer. Better get to work
