I have had the same trouble looking for MY OWN posts. If you search on "windshield" for example, you will get a lot of chitchat youhave to read through. If you can remember other keywords, it helps.

Since the main value of this site to new users is mechanical stuff and maintenance how-to's it makes sense to organize those sections in a bit more detail. Although, on this bike, deciding where the engine ends and the transmission begins (they share the same oil, f'rinstance) might be tricky. Electrical would be easier. Some stuff, like, the "straw fell off my gas tank downspout, are gonna be tricky to categorize...
