It is freakishly warm. Dialed in the madstad removable windshield at speeds up to 90. No buffet finally after two hours of back and forth wrenching :-)

Now I’m going to take it off and use it 3 times a year :-)

Nahhh must be the pic, it is their 18 inch screen… not too bad at all. Goes on and off in less than 30 seconds too, my favorite part. I am tall though… 6’2” with a very long torsoView attachment IMG_4664.jpeg Most of the time I dont like riding with a windshield… rides where I ride over 75 for more than a few hours at a time I like one

I added the Wunderlich larger heel shifter and the Wunderlich Reverse lever. The ball at the end came from the hardware section in Home Depot. I drilled out the rubber just smaller than the shaft, added some glue and slid it on. I use reverse often and this makes it much easier to see and reach.
 
Slip-ons, bags, windshield, and sissy bar are off. Shorties are on. Lots of noise...reminds me of of my my 4cylinder TJ with a cherry bomb 15 years ago. It's fun, but definitely not a long term exhaust situation. Wife definitely hates not having the sissy bar backrest. If I want to keep the shorty exhaust and use saddlebags, I have to fab up something to take the place of the stock exhaust bracket because the saddlebag's support bracket is bolted to the exhaust bracket.
