Default FastAire is super

I have purchased three different shields from FastAire out of Reno Nv.
http://www.fastaire.com/Windshields.html

There shields are a perfect fit and very durable. An example of prices:
4 inch solid black $22
10 inch light gray $31

There service was fast, reliable and courteous.

What I like to do is throw the 4 inch on the bike, pull the tour pack and get a totally different look for city cruising...

you don't have to prove anything to anybody. Get whatever bike you want.

Thanks for that. I also have another son starting college in the fall. I don't know where he's going yet. From a financial standpoint, it looks like it might have to be either a metric bike or no bike. But it would be a bike that I probably would only ride a few times a year.

Default junk 1300

DO NOT waste your time or money on the vstar 1300,i thought i was doing the right thing by buying one because i was being a tight *** and didn't want to spend the money on a real bike. had issues with head shake,yamaha tells me not to let go of the handlbars....12,000 miles on bike started to get a knock in bottom end they don't want to stand behind there product because i did service work myself????why does there manual say you will not void your warranty doing the service work yourself as long as you keep all your receipts???got tired of there bull**** went and bought a 07 streetglide never been happier no regrets will not look back... good luck and don't be a tight a??

Nothing wrong with it. It's only a bike you ride a couple times a year - better than not riding at all!

I traded my '08 super glide custom loaded to the max for my new scoot. The dealer that has it, Neidengards in Ohio has it on their website for $12,900 but I guarentee you they will let it go for a $1000 less, warranty expires sept '09. The bike rocks, only has 3900 miles on it and like I said, it's loaded.

Thanks. I may also check the one at my local dealer. It's loaded too with screamin eagle pipes. It would definitely be my first choice if I decide to spend that much. The other argument is that the HD may cost 3500 more, but when and if I sell it it will be worth even more than that (of course we all know that).
