SV on its way to touring/commuter mode

SteveP · 11-13-2008, 01:25 AM

I've been commuting on my SV for the last 3 years and finally started to make some modifications to improve the ride.

First on the agenda.

Givi A760 windscreen.

Pros - takes the wind off your chest on the interstate. I don't feel like I'm doing a constant pull up anymore.

Cons - a little bit of wind buffeting and extra noise. I wear ear plugs anyway so it's a non-issue for me.

The goods out weigh the bads.

My next mod is on order and I am anxiously waiting for its arrival! I have a SW Mototech detachable rack with a set of Givi E21 hard bags in route. The rack is coming in from Germany so I have to wait about 2 months

Hopefully these will add the MUCH needed storage for my daily commute. I've been using a set of Givi soft bags for the last 2 years. While they are good bags, I am ready for something more! I'll post up a few pics when they get in and are installed.
