Great left-side view.
Taken just outside downtown Dallas. The sphere behind the bridge is Reunion Tower, a prominent part of the downtown skyline.
Check out that sexy bevel-drive!
Good view of the Corbin Gunfighter & Lady seat.

This is how dogs see my bike. Also showcases Dallas' lovely clear blue sky.

This is the top mounting for the National Cycle Plexistar2 windscreen. Turn that knob to the left and slide it out of the mounting. Tighten the knob up and you're almost there.

This is the bottom mounting. It's not the most attractive solution they could have found, but it does have the big plastic wingnut so it comes off here very quickly, too.
One of the very few problems that I've encountered. The backing of the speedometer is pushed down on the right side, producing a weird crack around the KMH markings. My dealer, Grapevine Kawasaki, replaced this under warranty at 2850 miles. I can not think of a way for this damage to have occurred. One person guessed that perhaps the upper part of the pod was tightened too much at the factory.
My W650 on October 11th, 2002. Here you can see the SuperBrace installed on the forks, just above the fender. This is supposed to help with the weave that sets in around 100mph. It's still in trials. This picture also makes most evident my clubman handlebars. They bring out a very different side of the bike, making it feel much more sporty. They encourage a slightly crouched riding position, so I can't recommend them for long hauls, but for cracking around town and at healthy speeds on freeways, they're a real asset. They're much closer to the forks than the stock ones, so the rider has a much more direct feeling of control. However, as we're now entering winter, I've put the stock high bars back on. A very different feeling, but I can mount my Plexistar 2 fairing to combat the winter winds.
