Not really, it was a spare stock screen, and I have a CeeBaileys +3+2 as well.

This might be a good time to take a long look in the mirror, and not flinch!

How about one of those laminar lip thingies? Think that'd smooth out the buffeting and head-snatching?

Here are the promised images of my new TT dash cover and instrument cover.



They were easy to install, and look very good. Plus, next summer, I can run with no screen at all.

My old tank bag.


My new tank bag, a Cortech Super-mini.

Image

I took the mount off my old SWMototech bag, and used it on this one. First I removed the magnets, and then added a stiffener on the bottom.


Image


Top view. I clears everything except the GPS mount barely touches it.


Image


I used the loop in front to hold the release string.


Image


It stays cleanly off the tank and paint.


Image


It looks better, and it holds as much, but more importantly, it nicely holds my digital SLR, plus some extras.

PS My new Steibel horn too:
