szurszewski Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Phil, sorry to hijack the thread for a moment, but living in south florida I know the heat you speak of. I purchased a shortened windshield and while not perfect. I get a lot more air on hot days and with earplugs The relatively smooth air around my helmet is easy to tolerate. To continue the hijack, I took off the side panels this spring to "paint" them, but didn't get around to doing that until October, so I rode all summer without the sides. This is on my R1100RT, so I don't know how well it would apply to 1200 models, but on the 1100 my legs really enjoyed the extra air. I realize to most of you, probably, this would be an aesthetic abomination, but I actually think it made the bike look better in some respects - or at least weird Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I flew a DH Moth out of santa paula back in the '70's. Cliff Robertson had a tiger moth and spitfire there at the time. Steve McQueen kept a plane and some motorcycles there back then. PM you phone # and I'll call a week or so ahead. Link to comment
