Default My New Upgrades
Just switched to an 8" windshield. Should have done this long ago. I can hear my stereo better, plus I'm not catching as many bugs with my face.
Added a driver backrest a few months ago and oh man, what a difference.
I have'nt ridden without it.

The bike looks good, but so does the garage. Man I wish my garage was that organized. I try but just always seems to get messed up again.

Having a 3 car garage helps.

That is one sweet looking scoot brother! I have been looking into a new seat for my EG and was leaning towards the rider backrest option.

Fine looking mods! I especially like the way the T-Bags Windshield Bags fit under the new windshield. I like that windshield trim too - who makes that? Very understated and really makes the front end look good!

At the time I bought the windshield bag, the only one I could find to fit the stock windshield, best looking one too,IMO. The trim is a Harley product.

Kooks really good. The backrest is one of the best accessories I have installed. Just takes a lot of pressure off of my back anyway.

Looks great. And I second the huge difference a "functional" height windshield can make. When I upgraded from a 10" Windvest to a 12" Windvest on my RGC, it was like night and day. I got the same benefits you did.
