    After a 11,000km trip, my fave accessories are...

    The M..stad windshield, the Garmin Zumo GPS, the air hawk seat cushion and the $39 Rain-x cover from Walmart. I used the highway pegs sparingly, when my knees started to cramp.

    Ontario to Vancouver Island and back and the bike ran flawlessly. What a thrilling, comfortable, groovy ride!!

    what are your fave accessories?

    I lowered my foot rests down to stretch my legs out. It seems to take the weight off my butt pinch points. My feet go right to the foot rests.
    Just installed a M..St.d shield today. Have them on my other bikes. Now I can hear the exhaust better and the front tire roars!
    With almost 12k miles its getting close to new tire time.
    Cup holder is nice but its in the way sometimes.
    Garmin gps is only used to get me un-lost. Or when I have some place in particular to go. I'm never really lost cause I just don't care.
    Driver back rest is good for my 65 yr old back.
    GiVi trunk will hold 2 half helmets.
    Trailer hitch is great. Thought I would pull a trailer on long trips, but can get a weeks worth of cloths in the trunk and bags.
    May use a rack in the hitch in the future.
    Gear indicator is nice for us old guys with ADD!
    Throttle lock helps with the arthritis in my hands.
    Ya know,,,, just about every thing I put on it is to alleviate pain.
    I do love my B.
    ITS ALL GOOD

    Hi Papabruce
    What's the Rain X cover? Bike cover? Windshield cover?

    And great trip!

    Hey WEG the RainX cover, covers the whole bike from front fender to the saddle bags. the bag it came in, simply says Rain-X. I don't have any other product name. the bag is smaller than my rain suit bag.
    it provides good protection. I often packed it up wet and dried the next time I put it on.

    Ah that makes sense...The Rain X name threw me off. Thanks for the explanation.

    As for my faves, the M-Stad for sure, thumb drive tunes next!
