Sorry, I have no idea what my computer did here.

My windshield is HD. My bags are Sedici from Cycle Gear. I ordered Easy Brackets from Cruisercustomizing.com. I highly recommend the Easy Brackets, then it's your choice of any bag that can fit your bike.

Had my first ride where the wind really did bother me. I could manage under 70, but unfortunately, the group I was riding with was riding faster than 70. Too soon for me to want to consider a bigger bike. But I would love suggestions on how to make my bike a more comfortable bike. I've seen on their site that Memphis Shades offers a fairing, but they offer no picture/view of it. What else could I do to make the Street a more comfortable and manageable ride?

There is a really cool MUSTANG TOURING seat on eBay for $341. I'm going to get one eventually!!!

I've been putting off doing the seat upgrade. Usually the seat does not bother me, but this past weekend's ride also challenged me there. After about 300 miles, I was starting to really feel it in the seat. A friend is trying to convince me the seat will become more comfortable after it breaks in. But I'm at 3500 plus miles already. Not sure how much breaking in time it needs.

Well, if I bit the bullet and got a batwing style fairing, I guess I wouldn't need the windshield anymore. I also have an extra bag like the one in my profile pic. I had two prior to even buying this bike, but two don't really fit this bike. It's a bit larger than necessary, but I wanted the large one to be able to fit my full face helmet. I guess I'm turning into one of those people who is constantly looking to change their bike and accessorize up...what do they call those people??? Oh yeah, bikers!

Here is a shot of our Batwing Fairing on a Street 750, you would need to relocate your front turn signals - we do have a kit for the relocation.
