Got out last night. It was the first time I've ridden without a fairing since selling my E in '99.
A bit breezy, but ironically quieter without the wind aimed at my head. No big deal as I was on backroads, late, only doing 40 - 50 riding in high deer alert mode for good reason. A group of 3 and later a single crossed in front of me. Still I caught a chill only wearing a t shirt and shorts under my riding gear.
It was great not to hear all the rattling when hitting bumps- the broken fairing mount just repaired was a big part of the rattling, but even before that it was still noisy. While the fairing is off I plan to go thru all of the mounting hardware and de rattle it.

When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

Good fun, and good time with the kids.
I was just there yesterday, checking the carb work on my 850. It turns out I need a 100 mile ride and some pizza to think about it and form an opinion. The crosswind surging was an easy fix with the pocket knife, but something else is going on. I think maybe the choke linkage on #3 is making trouble. The PO munged it.Dogma
