Christmas came early today. New windshield (19" Slipstreamer wide with vent S-267-19V), tour pak, "service manual" and "electrical trouble shooting manual" all came today from separate vendors.
Figured out the Tupperware and installed the new shield before the service manual arrived. Took the bike and shield for a 70 mile test ride through the mountain twisties and the highway. Huge difference with the 19" shield. Can see over the shield for 1 car length ahead, but through the shield for plates of the first car in front of me. Big improvement at highway speeds to the stereo with the tall/wide shield and visor up.

Somewhat pleased and somewhat disappointed with the tour pak. The "denim matte black" matches the matte black on the bike. The backrest looks pretty good (close match to stock upholstery), but the side brackets are 1/2" too long which leaves a gap between the back of the arm rest and the top of the trunk. The trunk has plenty of room for 2 large full face helmets plus some space between and on top. The locks on the tour pak look nice, but can be defeated without any tools. They also do not cinch the lid tight to the box without any movement. The weather stripping in the lid is too small to make a tight seal when the trunk is closed. Larger weather stripping should address this.
