This forum is great -- it really is. (Despite the harrassment I get for being an Indian lover.) It's funny though. A couple days ago, I didn't know what a belly pan was let alone thinking about it as high on my list of mods. Yet this morning I have one on order -- the Show Chrome black anodized (Oxymoron alert.)

The "cheap insurance" part just makes too much sense not to do it. Seems dumb Honda didn't include a more stylish, integrated version out the door for that reason alone.

But what I'm really curious about and hoping for is the cross wind help. Got caught in 50+ mph winds twice this weekend and it's not fun riding especially if the wind is constantly shifting as it was Monday.

Anyway, thanks everyone. It's really great to have a resource and community like this forum. I found something similar when I had my M109R, but have been missing it ever since. It's great to glean from everyone else's experiences.
