Dan...I'll get a pic of my install, but here's one from Gadgets site which is where I got the idea. I used a push button switch and a key fob remote that I opened up and soldered two wires on to the switch. I have it velcroed on my inner windshield below my bag so you don't see it.

Ape hangers. Nothing has made the ride more enjoyable than the improved hand position. Next after that I would say the resistor I added to the air temp sensor. This has made it possible to ride the bike with regular unleaded without any pinging or spitting or exhaust popping.

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have a 04 silver and blue. Purchased it July 07. I am interested in the windshield bag, anyone have pics and price.

The biggest thing I can't live without? My wife riding behind me. Whether is riding in the Tennessee mountains, the Grand Canyon, or Yellowstone park, she is with me and NEVER complains!

I got it off eBay for I think about $40 On my 99's and 05 and 06 I've always re-drilled the holes in the bag so that they would mount lower on the windshield. Just a personal preference. With the Phat II risers, it was hard to do the clasp with them mounted lower, so I got some velcro and stopped by a shoe repair shop and gave them $5 to sew the velco on. Now instead of the clasp, I just push the flap shut and let the velcro do its thing. Just my thoughts on windshield bags. I'll get a pic if I put it on today. |

Best thing for me was the Kuryakyn hiway pegs and lots of miles.

When it comes to the driver's backrest...I would purchase one and install it if I was planning a long journey as a lone ranger rider. But, I'd also remove it with a passenger. My thought is that the driver's backrest somewhat serves the purpose of a "boundary" between a passenger and the driver during a ride. I like the occasional sqeeeeeeze or the ability to lean back into the 'pillows' when I feel the need.
Highway pegs are the most inexpensive must have accessory. |

yeeow, you definitely named some places I'd love to ride before I ck. out. Wompus you sure must rack up some mi. and you sure sound like ya know how to pickum. I don't know if I could ride that far (Yellowstone) I'd probably trailer out then ride. For now I've been content with the Appalachians, maybe the Ozarks next yr. ::)
