HEY - Thats my bike!
Nice color choice!
Hopefully that wet spot isn't from the bike.
Me like the screen what is it.
I want one please.
Bob
The spot is from my 1970 BSA, marking its territory.
The screen is the Tiger sports screen, part # A9708029-XX where XX is the color ID. The price is $175, which is a bit steep, but I think it looks much better than the stock windscreen.
I just installed the Touratech Engine Guards and have posted an updated picture. Installation was very easy, took about 1 hour. Used a floor jack to hold the engine up while removing the mounting bolts.
Very nice - here is an updated pic of my 05 after installing all the goodies I got from Sasquatch. I also have some Happy Trails luggage on order.

Bike looks great! Are those TKC-80's?
Yea - in the photo those TKC's had just been put on. I've got about 500 miles on em now with about half to 2 thirds of that being off-road. So far I love em.
TT, what's the bag you have on the back?
That's the Wolfman Tailpack - I love it! Has 4 bungie type cords on the bottom that are adjustable with hooks and it just hooks onto the luggage rack. Its expandable to, I think, 30L capacity.
I got it here;

Great Looking ride! How do the TKC's grip on the tarmac?
Way better than I would have expected. Last week in AZ on the way back from a dirt ride, we (wife and I, 2up) took a highway that wound through the mountains. Long sweepers some tight corners (2 lanes in each direction). Anyway we were able to run at 80-90, 2up and the TKC's felt as secure as the stock Anakee's.
I'm sure on a tight, twisty canyon road they wouldn't be as good - but I am totally impressed with them and will probably keep running em.

Sounds like the next tire for me. What is the mileage expectation on a set, i.e. at 7000 miles my rear Anakee is shot. What do you think for the TKC?

I got 9k out of the last rear TKC on my GS...16k out of the front. But most people seem to get around 4-5k on the rear and 8k or so on the front. I think they're very dependent on weight and throttle.
Yea - you know how it is - you have to find that spot in the balance that your comfortable with;
performance<---------------------------------------->tread life
Me? - Well, I just migrated from the sportbike world so I would rather get 3k miles out of a set of tires that I know are going to perform the way I want, rather than get something that performs ok but lasts longer. Geez, on my old sportbike, I only got 2k miles out of a rear tire. If I can get 3-4k from the TKC's then I'm ecstatic!
