Author Message   Old_mil Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 03:41 am:        I didn't have a chance to ride it far - just from the transporter's truck to my garage - but I can already tell that this machine has found a permanently place in my garage alongside my Dyna. The seating position is *outstanding*. Every other sport touring bike I've ridden has placed my knees in an uncomfortable position or at an uncomfortable angle (bent too much). The balance and weight are also *outstanding*. It makes both my former rides, a BMW K1200GT and a R1150RT seem like Goldwings in comparison. I've ordered some accessories to allow me to move my GPS back and forth to this ride from my Dyna; also a thermometer. Now to add a +8 windscreen from Gustaffson plastics and the Kurakyan LED voltmeter. That should get me started.   Hodakaguy Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 08:23 am:        Welcome to the Buell Club. You'll love it! Hodakaguy S1   Buelliedan Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 08:49 am:        Why would you need a +8 windscreen? You live in LA, not exactly cold. Plus the Gustaffsons plus sizes make your bike look like a pregnant whale. The Lockhart Phillips +3 from American Sport Bike is a much better looking screen and gives plenty of protection.   Johnnylunchbox Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 11:31 am:        We pick up my wife's S3T tomorrow. I think I'm more excited than she is. Congrats Old Mil.   Old_mil Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 01:53 pm:        Actually, I live in Iowa, and it gets mighty cold here. If the had a +10, I'd order that.   5liter Posted on Friday, February 18, 2005 - 04:56 pm:        Enjoy. I have a Zero Gravity windscreen on mine. It does a good job for me.   Jersey_thunder Posted on Saturday, February 19, 2005 - 08:21 am:        Welcome TONY S2   Chopperboy Posted on Sunday, February 20, 2005 - 08:53 am:        Old Mil, Welcome. I have an '02 S3T as well. The zero gravity windscreen works well for me. Much better than stock. Look me up if you make it to Cedar Rapids. Todd   Old_mil Posted on Tuesday, February 22, 2005 - 08:36 pm:        Does anyone have any internet links to the Lockhart Phillips +3 windscreen? I couldn't find one. I did find the webpage for zero gravity - I'm guessing those of you with this screen have the sport-touring edition. How much taller than the stock screen is it?   5liter Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 07:34 am:        Old_mil: My Zero Gravity screen is about 3 inches taller than stock. The wind hits the top of the helmet instead of your chest. A little less turbulance for me.   Chopperboy Posted on Wednesday, February 23, 2005 - 08:58 pm:        Old Mil, I do have the sport touring version. I would be happy to send you pictures. Let me know.
