Another Newbie

[BusaDale]

Hello all, picked up a new 2006 red/black last month.
I've been lurking for a while,  using my friend the "search" option. There is a wealth of info here. That info has cost me bunchs of $$ so far and I'm sure more to come.  Seems once you get the mod bug it never goes away.
I'll try to add a pic here, if it doesn't work I'll try later.

Welcome BusaDale;

I'm a relative newbie too, and have the same bike. Couldn't help but notice the windscreen. What brand is that, and how do you like it...?

Welcome.

SLA1500,
It's a Puig Sport Touring model, I ordered it from Street n Track Import, one of our site sponsors.
I have only had it about a week but I like it. It does cut a lot of air off your chest which is good and bad. It's nice not being beat up by the wind when not tucked in but the wind also helps take some of the weight off your wrists. I will probably use it mostly on long tours but I will probably also raise the bars up some and maybe lower the pegs. I'll do this after I get my Tobin seat back and see how it feels.
