Got me a windshield and saddlebags/tailbag
I got a new Plexistar 2 windshield from Nat'l Cycle and won an eBay auction for a slightly used set of Cortech Sport saddlebags and a tail bag. Put the windshield on today during lunch and rode it home after work. Initial impressions: it blocks a lot of air (maybe too much - I was definitely hotter on my way home) and it adds a noise factor in two ways - engine noise seems louder and the air passing over the lip of the windshield is a bit loud. Plus the turbulence rocks my helmet a little. I adjusted the angle of the windshield a little (it had a bit more of a vertical angle than the fork rake. Now it matches) so we'll see how different it is on the way to work tomorrow. The bags look like they're going to work out nice, just need to get/make some supports to keep them away from the rear wheel. Pictures when I get a chance.
