awesome - but beware of anyone trying to convince you to ride "the Ahmic trail"
I'm interested to hear what you think of the massive wind screen
I read every post on the subject and then cut 4" off the stocker
had the Rallyraid screen - didn't find it any good for me
I like to look through the windscreen somewhat - habit from years on crotchrocket ?
mind you I'm just a bit taller than average !

I KNOW A GREAT PLACE TO BREAK IT IN

The tall screen is pretty sweet it looks goofy but with the heated grips its great. I can't really tell about any buffeting yet, I'm still wearing a motocross helmet even on the highways. Once my new helmet comes in I'll have a better idea. If the weather stays as it is I'll throw on the stock one and give you my thoughts or you can just borrow the screen and try it for your self.

I feel like I've gone from using a telegraph machine to a smart phone..... This bike is amazing. I will have to bulk up if I'm going to be wrestling this pig down any hairy trails though.

I'm getting my crash bars powder coated soon so if anyone has anything that they need done let me know, we can get a better price if we have enough worth doing.

Hay I know what you mean about the difference in bikes, went from a KLR to the 690. Like riding a tractor to driving a sports car that goes off road also.

As for the power coating where are you getting it done and whats the cost, might want to do my frame?

Anyone out riding yet ? Thinking of bringing my bike out of storage after this weekend. Ice is finally off my back road, highways are nice and dry.

I was waiting on a few parts, wheel bearings that is. Turn out the rear on the 690 is the same as the 950/990 but no one drives those bikes or needs rear wheel bearings.y bike is close to being back together just have a few loose ends to finish this weekend I hope. It starts and runs so that's a good thing. Hope to do a test spin on Monday then tie up the loose wires.
Bring the girl out what are you waiting for, spring. Saw some guys out on hogs today so if they can do it so can you.
