Hi Jonathon,
First…welcome aboard! Nice to have another new owner here!Second, I’m gonna have to charge a royalty for reusing the picture of my trunk.

Plenty of time to make that decision Bill. But my initial thoughts….The more registrants, the larger the tent Carlisle provides for FREE.We would not have enough TDs to qualify for even the smallest freebie.And our numbers do help the Speedster group.

Dave,Is the weight box in the front of the trunk? There are pics of my trunk space in my photo gallery (linked to in a prior post).I rode with 25 to 30 pounds front and rear for years. Very stiff ride. Then I learned here that tire pressures should be 18 front, 26 rear for radials (17 front, 24 rear for bias ply tires). Made a WORLD of difference.

I know this is presumptuous, but I see a couple details to add to your to-do list. The first two are safety related, they’ll get rid of those wiper arms sticking up in your line of sight, and will provide a real view backwards!
