It must be the welding, as the 2 are identical except for the brackets for the cowl. I have a stock FZ system on my Tracer, fits perfectly (I have now sourced a stock Tracer system (£50!!!!) so the FZ muffler will be sliced and diced; do you think that I could avoid alignment problems with welding by leaving the cut only on 3 out of 4 sides and bending the top clear, or is the steel too thick?

Fair enough - but it is totally out of keeping with the character of the bike. More suited to a Yamaha Virago or somesuch. I sometimes have to take my daughters and wife as passengers (not at same time, this is not India!) and I have a top box with back rest that I pop on when needed. No more or less ugly, more functional, and not there when it doesn't have to be.

Holy ... $350 US? They are REALLY proud of that thing. Seriously? Is it QR? If it is, take it off until you need it!

RPHA Max evo. Love it. I wouldn't go back to a non-flip helmet now, especially as a four-eyed speccy bastard!

Des that link to the Sargeant UK site really say £315 for the backrest???

Just back from a 1500 mile trip to France. Had the Powerbronze touring screen with the Small Givi extender on. Result - if no cross-winds, absolutely brilliant. Listening to music through Sena SN5 bluetooth in Shark Evoline 3(generally faceshield up, visor down) clear up to 80mph, listenable to 100mph. If crosswinds present, reduces to 60mph for clear, 70mph for listenable. I'm 5'11, 32in inseam. HOWEVER... riding in 39 degree centigrade heat, I would have sacrificed noise for a bit of wind flow! Still, not generally a problem in the UK!
