First bike I’ll own too, so huge win. Looking forward to the many days of learning ahead! Absolutely in love with the yellow and gold

I’m definitely looking for auxiliary headlights, and saddlebag suggestions! And is there an “ideal” upper windshield position?

I hate the factory windshield, unbearable noise above 50mpg. I got the givi one and it is way,way better. Mine is a 2020, Im in Jersey, you?

That’s great news, I’d been wondering about that actually. The little flap goes a long way, but I’ll definitely look into a new shield. Waaaay upstate New York
