If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
Bags
Curious…….. how do the bags effect the airflow from your windshield/fairing?
Did yougo with the 2 or 3 bag unit?

When I bought my trike (it was used) I had the dealer transfer my custom windscreen, seat, handlebar risers, clutch and brake levers from my old Goldwing. It made the feel of my first trike ride familiar. After that, my other "first" mods were a fork brace and anti-dive valve delete which I did at the same time.
