| Just got a Laminar Lip for my R² (the older KLR model)--too lazy to bend and cut my own lexan. I'll post up some pics when I get it installed. |

| Just wanted to post up a "Thank You" to BPG for the Harbor Freight windshield. Had mine for about 1500 miles now, can't believe how well it works. Thanks again!!

| not bad for under $10, is it?  I ran a few conventional "universal shields" (National Cycle Deflector and Slipstreamer Spitfire) before this. They only blocked the wind a little better, and were a hassle to take off an re-mount based on riding conditions. This rig rocks because it's ALWAYS there, which is great on cold days when you go from trail to road to trail to road, etc.. And, it's almost un-killable...   |

| I guess I do not understand why we would put a screen on a dirt bike. With several street bikes in my garage I understand windshields. I do know with smallish shields there can be and usually is a lot of buffeting especially around the helmet. In my opinion I would much rather have the full blast of clean air instead of the buffeting. Anyone having done the windshield thing are you experiencing any buffeting? Curious thing this desire for windshield and luggage on a dirt bike. I mean it is not like our bike is a BMW GS or anything like that. wilburj |

| I plan to ride mine everywhere. I rode it to Florida last month. The little windshield and Dirt Bagz were mighty handy.

| I have a small screen and (sometimes) luggage on mine because I sometimes treat it as a pure dirtbike, and as a dual sport, as a commuter, as a sportbike on a tightly twisted road, etc. That's the beauty of the WRR.
PS - posted up in your intro thread - I grew up in Lucinda, PA, right "beside" ya!
Cheers,

Why does anyone ride to Florida? We in Florida ride everywhere else for the good roads. We make due with what we have here. |

I've only ridden to FL a few times, when the weather was too cold to ride anywhere else in the country! 
But yeah, definitely much better riding in pretty much any other state. |

That's funny. If that bike had a brain, it would be as embarrassed as a dog with a halloween outfit on. I guess if the owner likes it that's all that matters. |

Looks good! Let us know how it works for ya.
Don't forget to wrap the brake line in electrical tape. Mine still hasn't rubbed through the e-tape yet, but I'd rather it do that than through the brake line itself! |
