Rick123 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Looks like the first generation V Strom (and second in fact as well) but as long as it makes you happy...who cares. Actually I'm still debating - to do or not to do. Looks good. Edited November 6, 2020 by Rick123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have mounted it for a while, and now it is off again. Still not sure if i should put it on, or leave it off.

Clem Fandango Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I think the Puig is the best looking of the beaks available, but $150 USD for a little piece of plastic is crazy talk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Wheels Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I've got one coming from China. I think it was $56 with free (slow) shipping. The new one is stated to require no drilling or other mods, as the previous generation was . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 To everyone else who has beaked( or billed) their bike: you noticing a little "bounce" or "hop" in your front end at speeds over 100mph? I have since installing, thought maybe my front wheel was slightly out of balance; however, just got new tires on and "bounce" is still there. Thinking it might be the beak ( or bill).

mellow Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 more than likely, you have a bad wheel balance or bad tire. I've had bad roadsmarts years ago when they were having issues and got a bounce from the front new tire. ST-Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 might be the wheel; seems unlikely 2 different brands of tires would do the same thing,eh. The beaky bill is slighlty flexible, was thinking it might be flexing at speed causing the bounce. Guess I'll pull it and lay the question to rest.
