I like the look of the freshly match-painted 2’ fire sticks. When you get a chance, put them on the bike and take a pic out in the sun.
Why do they call the color Challenger Brown when the bike looks silver? :xzqxz:
I did some tinkering.
I'm not wild about the look of the GPS shade, so I've been thinking of how to protect the LCD, don't want to go through the replace again ... getting too old for that stuff ... LOL.
So I let my mind wander ... a dangerous thing for sure :AGGHH: ... I figure I can use the shade on long trips, and that should be fine. Around town, my thought is the direct sun light when parked is probably a big contributor to the demise of the LCD. Kind of like the Tulsa windshields "melting" the dash gauges on the 1500's. I may still have a windshield cover around here somewhere ... that may help with this too. Now Honda says it was because people where pressing on the screen thinking it was a touch screen, and that kind of makes sense. But I figure, protecting it from direct sunlight when not in use couldn't hurt.
So I looked around my "junk" and found a piece of foam from an old air conditioner mounting kit. (Alan doesn't throw anything he thinks he can use away) and I made a piece of foam that is snug fit into the LCD well. Only problem, once it's in there, pretty tough to get out. I also found a length of the soft side of velcro with adhesive on one side. I made a tab to pull it out with and I think it will work fine. Should fit in the left pocket when not in use.
Here it is:

Something like a crown royal bag might work if it is large enough. I won't go into consuming the continues of the bottle. :xzqxz:
Jessica is really looking good.
Maybe spray paint it with the new can of matching bike color you just received?
I am actually thinking of putting some reflective material on it to reflect sun rather than absorb it.
