Went the very long way home the other day and watched the sun set over this lake. It made for a beautiful end to the day. I'm loving the fuel mileage, so much better than my truck, which only gets 15mpg.

My naked wing is not so naked anymore.
I've added the batwing fairing and my saddle bags. Next is the trunk box. Heading from Maine to Ohio in less than 2 weeks. Solo ride, camping along the way.

The batwing is from eBay. Brand new with free shipping is $150

Yes, bags are lower, muy goal was to get them as low as possible. I lowered the exhaust in order to get bags low.

Thank you for the kind words

Tie, pleated slacks, spats, doe skin gloves, mustachio wax--then you would be set for the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride.
