| I walked into a Honda dealership late last fall and sat on a Silverwing. Two hours later my husband and I were both new owners of beautiful candy dark red Silverwings.
Upcoming Ride We had planned to take a couple of weeks to ride the Oregon coast line but we have experienced a really cold spring. So our new plans include a ride into southern Utah (weather permitting) to see Capital Reef, Natural Bridges, Mesa Verde, Aztec Ruins, and Dinasour National Monuments.
Love our new bikes and now are looking for fun accessories so forward any sites you may have found. Specifically we are looking for saddlebags that fit the silverwing. Just bought a gps holder on line and awaiting its arrival.

| J&D, Take a look at the link in my sig to my gallery and you will see some of the many things you can add on to your bikes. As to saddlebags, although there are many brands of bags, the goto brand is GIVI. You lift up your seat, throw the bags across the opening and lock down your seat over the cross straps. In some cases they have lower straps that you can tie to your bike. Go to http://giviusa.com/soft-luggages/ for tank, tail and saddlebags and use their contact form to get information specific to your bike. Many companies make this stuff. There is nothing that says "made for Silverwing specifically".
Welcome to the forum. No shortage of bling for you here.

| Between Mesa Verde and Colo Natl Monument is a wonderful highway -- CO 141. It is probably the best way to go from south to north in extreme western Colorado. IMHO anyway. Enjoy the ride. Don't expect any consistent nice weather before Memorial Day. |
