    Before cutting a good shield, you might want to cut an old one you don't plan to use any more. Cut at least an inch higher than you figure you need. Mount it up and drive around to see if its where you want it. I cut my stock shield several times before I was satisfied. By the way cutting a Clearview will take out some of the areodynamic function designed into it. (Don't ask how I know) Also, as suggested you might try treating the shield. RainX, Plastex, Pledge, even shaving cream can cause condensation to roll off the surface. Ever try wiping some shaving cream on a bathroom mirror? It works. The best solution I feel is to cut the shield, but you will notice some buffeting you didn't have before. Good Luck & keep us posted. Ponch

    I believe the 94 is a 1500cc motor. I have freiends with that generation wing that go coast to coast with very little problems. Like with every bike, maintenance is the key. A bike in good repair will yield years of good service. Ponch

    I did the same. Bent my key nearly 45 degrees. LilBit had the spare in her pocket which saved our bacon some 400 miles from home. Ponch

    My wing ding riding companion, myself and our wives went on a leisurely ride through most of New Mexico (from South Texas). He kept getting way ahead of us burning the twisties pretty good. Not that I can't do that, its just I regard my life and my wife's life too much to risk ending up at the bottom of White Mountain because I was burnin a twisty a little to hard and lost it. We went to enjoy the scenery as well as enjoy the ride. Once he got so far ahead he had to double back thinking we fell off the mountain or something. Heck, we just stopped to enjoy the tranquility of our surroundings (geesh I sound so old all a sudden). Anyways, I guess I'm preaching to myself. If you're not comfortable riding with these guys, I'm sure there's quite a few of us you can ride with. Ponch

    I bought my 04 used from a dealer in Sept 07, w/16,000 miles on it. I've had three warranty repairs made on it with no problems whatsoever. I was told it has five years bumper to bumper (excluding expendable items and required servicing). Ponch

    Remember the old Pink Panther movies? Peter Sellers always had his assistant surprize attack him to keep his reflexes tuned. Yeah, thats it, consider it personl training. BTW, I've dodged those pesky antennaes a few times now. Ponch

    Mine had 10,000 miles on it at McKinney Maintenance Day. The tread was already flattened out and looked much like yours. I changed it when I got home and really noticed a BIG difference in handling. Ponch

    Sorry JB, I'm out of town Saturday. Going to Waco to see my folks. May be able to swing by Sunday afternoon (if not mowing). With all the rain we've had this week, it ought to be about knee deep by the time it stops. Ponch

    Unless you broke a clip off, the stock trim bolt should fit. I can bring my bke over on Friday to compare if you're interrested. Ponch:thumbsup2:

    I believe they're having trouble keeping the clutch system bled. It all started with them trying to bleed the clutch anyway. The slave cylinder is probably gunked up and letting air in around the oring(s). Ponch

    They're not linked.

    Bought a Diamond R back rest last year. Love it. I did have trouble with one of the nuts stripping out, though. I re-drilled both to the next larger size (10 mm, I think) used some larger bolts to match and all is well. Ponch

    JB, My wife's out of town right now. My riding depends on if she's in transit Saturday or not. Will let you know. Ponch
