Well color me envious. I'm thinking of the Russell myself. I'm also in eastern NC (New Bern) so where are you? I'd like to see it when you get in on the bike. If your size and weight aren't too far from mine, I can get an idea how it feels. I'm 6'1" and about 212 lb.k woo said:Ordered a Russell Day Long last night. 8)

You need to come ride mine then! Might as well see what I am doing in progression, too.tomatocity said:The adjustments you made to my stock suspension was a big plus. I am interested the performance difference with the new fork springs.
Good call, Reason I went with the TT Screen mount is I wanted the Sat Nav mounted straight ahead. It works really well there. I had it monuted between the bars on the FJR and had to look down every now and again that is now no longer the case it is always in direct eye line. I do also have the screen mounted quite high as I spend a fair bit of time on motorways and find the extra hight takes all the buffeting over my head. ::008::spasm said:i fitted my screen today, ive still got the stock bracket, my screen looks to be lower than yours, but its still higher than stock screen. this means i wont get so much wind underneath it ::008:: but more protection at the top. im going to leave the stock bracket on mine and if its ok im not going down the touratech road on the bracket. looks cool though 8)
I'm torn between the Madd-Stadd mount and the TT one. The TT places the cross bar higher, which appeals to me for your stated reasons. Got a pic of your TT set up with the Sat Nav in place? I'd love to see a shot from the rider's point of view. ::014::Jap_STi_3 said:Good call, Reason I went with the TT Screen mount is I wanted the Sat Nav mounted straight ahead.

I have removed the "PLASTIC" fasterners from the adjustable screen because no matter how tight I sccrewed them the dan thing still tipped towards me on the Autobahn at over 70mph (In Germany so legal to do so 140kpm) ::008::
