2014 Std Modifications

[SportsterDoc]

Re post #6, I forgot the very important Dart Marlin flyscreen.
Does a good job taking the wind off my chest, as it did on my Moto Guzzi V7II.

Oh, almost forgot the most important. MEE M6 pro ear buds with Comply isolation ear bud tips. Love them. They eliminate noise, sound great, and fit well in a tight fitting helmet.

How much noise do they keep out? Are they as good as noise cancelling headphones?

AirHawk. Jus sayin

What popgun said.

What popgun said. Never tried noise canceling ear buds but these block the noise quite well. I use an open face helmet and they definitely reduce wind noise, at crusing speed, to a comfortable level. With music playing, at a moderate levels, you cannot hear the wind. I use them while working, I use compressors, power washers, and pneumatic wet polishers, and they effectively block the noise. They were only $49 on Amazon and the comply tips were another $14 for three pair. If the medium comply work for you they come with the buds. They have another model with a two driver setup for $150. The extra base would be interesting but I get plenty from the M6 model. Not sure it would be worth the extra $100. Another neat feature is the cable is detachable and therefore replaceable. I've had a few other buds where the cable tended to be the common point of failure.

Thanks Retsel. You’re right about cables being the main point of earbud failure.

Thanks everybody!

Going to give the stock seat an honest chance... though the Black/Red Corbin looks sweet.

Ordered Revzilla:
SW-Mo Crash guards (Prefer Blacked out vs. Chrome OEM)
Techspec Snakeskin Tank Protector (Any negatives to this?)

In market for low-profile wind shield, tank bag & rear rack. Trying to keep bulky additions to a minimum, but need something for storage when I don't want to wear a backpack.

I have not put on crash guards (yet) and I don't know about the tank protector.

I have the Rocket 2 fairing with the standard wind screen. It's expensive, and ordering from Japan takes a while. So far, I really like the way it performs and how it looks on the bike.

I have a Cortech Super 2.0 small tank bag. It holds everything I want. It's magnetic, so it's easy to remove for access to the fuel cap, for taking into a restaurant or store, etc. Cortech is inexpensive, but I've been impressed with the quality so far.

Unless you're going to get a matched top box and panniers which require specific racks and mounts, then the Honda rear rack is fine. Several riders here have that rack and have adapted various boxes and bags to work with it.

Here is a recent picture of my '14 Std getting ready for a long road trip with overnight stays. I have a box on the rear rack, and a T-bag strapped to the rear part of the seat.

Shad top box, thing is so useful

Plexistar screen with mra screen added on

Sw motech crash bars, super good quality and look oem

Now all i need is a corbin seat and some pullback handlebars.

[mhicks17_imp]

Grip Puppies, RLETS, & Puig Naked Screen ordered.

I'm sure I'll get another 20 ponies out of her now!

Puig screen looks good. Was disappointed that I had to install graphics (took some time to get aligned. Bolts onto the bike in 3 minutes. I'll let you know how it holds up.

One of the RLETS ripped along the leg... only sensible thing to do...trim it down and cover the knob only. Looks great & installation difficulty goes from 10 to 2! Highly Recommend.

Waiting on grip puppies.

@mhicks17, if you change your mind about wanting a seat upgrade, I may be selling a Corbin Gunfighter & Lady seat here in the near future. I got it for long trips, but I've only used it on 3 rides of 100 miles each since I purchased it in 2016 (and it is a big improvement over stock!). It seems kind of a shame to just leave it in the closet when someone can be using it. Let me know if you need any more info on it.
