3 minor mods
I got 3 minor mods before our September trip.
1. Long Ride shield. I have a 10 inch thats jacked up and hard to see through. I think I will go with a 9 or 8 inch recurved and look over it. Not sure which.
2. Hyway pegs. Don't want to spend a fortune. Cheap is fine. Just something to stretch my arthritic legs out on occasionally.
3. Ragan fairing brace kit, clutch side main fairing brace is broke.
I would like 3 way pegs for the wife except I knowthey will interfere with te HD bag guard drinkholder and wont fold back out of the way.
suggestions?

before you drop cash, try trimming the bottom ( hidden) edge of your windscreen with a rotozip, coping saw, jigsaw.- easy and cheep.
I have 3 cut downs at various heights to match my seats...swap to lower seat, swap windscreen...
I always look just over the top- but I can tuck into it and look through it in crap weather...can't do that with a recurve.

check out Fast Aire shelds - i'm very happy with mine. http://www.fastaire.com/ I went with the 8" and look over the top. I also picked up the 360 degree angled pegs for highway. I wanted the short angled, but dealer showed me the 360s. Not sure I'll ever change from the current setting but I can if I need to. I also got the adjustable pegs for my wife, but I don't have the guard bag. Where are you going next month?

thanks for all the repsonses. I am thinking a recurved sheild will help with buffeting. I don't know what the previous owner did to my windshield but part of the coating is gone and its too tall anyway. Absolutely blind going into a sunset.

Can't say enough about the LRS shields -- I'm using a 9" (I also have a 10" that was "just a whisker too tall") and the 360 peg mounts. I'm one of those "right foot almost always heel-on-the-board, toe-on-the-peg" types. With fairing lowers, I don't think there's a better option. Had the (I don't remember the model name) "normal" mounts (looked sort of like a lowercase "d") and they just didn't cut it with the lowers. The 360's were more expensive, but I wish I'd just bought them in the first place.
Rears... Kuryakyn makes an adjustable rear mount. Probably a few bucks though...
