| Just bought the wife an '02 with nothing but a Givi box. Having a good time reading over your pages, has the armrest thing been worked out yet?? Looks like I have some "adaptokitting" to get started for her. What's the 1st priorities besides TCLOCS failures?? I want to trike it for her so he can ride with the rest of the GWRRA pack here. Look forward to some fun in here!!  |

| "Scooter Rider" ??? Um, well, I guess ... I prefer "SCOOTER SISSY" though!!  yep, another multi-group member here. This little rocket y'all lovingly refer to as a "Swing" is the wife's though...  I'm stuck riding the Goldwing. I have 'test' ridden it checking for 'bugs' & what-have-you's and admittedly I ENJOYED THE DOG-SQUEEZE OUT OF IT!!!  0-60 in how many feet??  What a BLAST!!! Seriously though, what are the 1st upgrades needing done knowing she's getting it tow-pac'd?? |

| Jim, I think the first few things that should be added: 1) After market windshield 2) Hyperpro front fork springs 3) Top case I put them in this order since the windshield really makes the ride so nice, if the shield is big enough. The stock screen is way to short for me so I got the XL Clearview and the Givi. The Hyperpro fork springs really give it a more motorcycle feeling and the springs are only about $155. The top case just gives much more storage. Keep us informed on the trike kit. It seems many have done it and really like it. And also, welcome to the group. If you need to do any maintenance there is a Pictorial section and maintenance section. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.
