About the feul guage, I had mine changed when the bolts were replaced. =
I seems to work fine although I am still sceptical.
I will continue to update. =20
About the tall windscreen. After 150 miles I removed it and am =
debating what to do . It did seem to add to the pressure on the wrists. =
I think to much for me. I may try it again after the Gen Mar risers are =
out. I noticed that for me at speeds between 75mph-90mph(as noted on the =
stock speedo) the front fairing moved around to much. Speeds above that =
were horrible.The mirrors became totally useless. I aready think the =
mirrors are not to good anyway and this just made it worse. Any wind =
seemed to move the bike around to much for me. If it was a headwind it =
seemed as someone was pushing on the front. I will say that if anyone is =
looking to receive less wind on the torso it does an excellent job. Also =
with the bugs.It may be the ticket for winter riding. As strange as it =
sounds my initial thoughts are for me that it might add to the fatigue =
on long rides.My girlfriend did like the windflow as a passenger. She =
has yet to ride with me and the stock screen.If anyone in the Dallas =
area (Jack, Dennis etc.) would like to try the screen contact me off the =
list.I also would like to here others thoughts on the screen. Eric you =
are the only one I know who also has the taller screen. Others?I will =
say again the dealing with Jack Lilley was a pleasure.=20
Installed the throttlemeister the other day. It is a wonderful =
product and they were also a pleasure to deal with. I like the clean =
installation. I set mine up a little soft so I could "fine tune" the =
throttle. =20
Now a problem. I seemed to have picked up excessive vibration in the =
grips. So much that after 45miles my hands go numb. Anyone experienced =
this? I had 25k on my Trophy and never had this problem. I have heated =
grips but also had them on the Trophy so I dont think this is the =
problem. Any thoughts?
