I'll just have to make sure not to eat the "Burrito Platter" or there will be a smoke screen to go with it! |

 Nothing worse than being coated in burned rubber and used frijoles! |

Etennuly, Cee Baileys makes a touring windshield for the Buell Ulysses. I purchased the 16" and have it on my bike. I only wanted the extra protection for the colder months. I will switch it back come next summer. I like the naked style for the warmer months.

I purchased mine from Daves in Appleton. |

That's nice and all...but did you see what I'll be following(according to Ft_bstrd).
I'm talking about a large clip on fairing for use only on those days that it is raining hard at 38 degrees with leg guards, it has to cover the total helmet, shoulders, hands, etc. A clear wall of sorts that you would only use when no one is looking. Strictly for utility.(again check the picture above for clarification)! |

What do you mean by "swimming" feeling? |

Front end feels light and wanders slightly, like it is hunting for where to go. Let go of the bars at about 30-45 they will shake/front end wobble. It's not unlike putting a knobby on the front of a dual sport, but it hooks up real good!
I'm going to wear mine out before replacing it, I notice it, but it doesn't bother me. |

Oh yeah! I know just what you mean. It isn't noticeable as long as my hands are on the grips, even without much pressure. The only time it's bothered me is out on the highway while leaning back on my luggage and steering lightly with one hand. |

That will cure when you change the front tire. How many miles do you have on it? I'm at 10,500 and the stupid front looks like it'll go to 20,000. Hope the description helped. |

You're probably right Etennuly, I've got 12k+ on my front with plenty of tread left although the blocks are pretty deformed.
Since I installed the Lyndall pads up front the braking has improved dramatically so I'm wondering if the remaining hard-braking shake I'm getting is due to the rubber-ratchet front 616.
Even with all those miles I don't experience the 40-mph wobble you guys speak of although i'm very familiar with it from my past bikes. Suspension settings, head bearing condition, and tire pressures were all factors in controlling that shake when my tires would pass 6k or so.
I have a brand new set of Syncs in my garage right now and I'm sooooo tempted to put'm on even though my 2nd rear 616 still has 2k to go... |

If you've re-torqued your head bearings I'd bet on it.
You will like the Syncs.
I haven't done the Lyndall pads yet, cleaned the rotor/pads a couple of times, but I will when these wear out. |
