+1 on Aeroflow. I had the sport screen with laminar lip. It was OK.. Then got the Aeroflow with tank wings... Incredible wind protection..

Welcome.. If you are near the South Bay. I would recommend Vadi's moto zone www.valdis-motozone.com
He's an independent BMW motorcycle mechanic in Torrance.
Later if you are so inclined you can do most of the work yourself.

Steve. It all depends how much protection you want. I had a BMW sport shield, with Laminar lip. It worked great, got most of the wind blast off my torso. I like Sundbeemer's idea of having the option of switching from sport to tour and vice versa.. Right know I'm using the bike for mostly touring, a...

I have the bar backs, with sport Aeroflow fairing.. It works great. I'm considering adding the tank wings, and be done with it..

I have an 04 with 69,000 miles no major problems..

I have had the stock BMW sport shield with Laminar Lip. It looks and works pretty good, and I would be interested in selling it.. Before that I had a Cee Baily sport shield. Decent wind protection but some buffeting.. Last year I purchased a Aeroflow. It's the size bellow their full touring.. No buf...

I have the Isolator earphones model ER-6i for my i pod..
Great quality sound, when the road turns technical I turn off the tunes, they work as ear plugs..
Shop around, I paid somewhere under $100.

I decided not to go with the tank wings, but did get the Aeroflow sport screen and bar plate.. Went for a week long tour of southern Colorado, and can tell you it worked great.. Much better than my old set up of BMW sport screen with Laminar lip.. Picked up the screen in person at Aeroflow, Paige wa...

Thanks guys.. I'm going to give them a try.. Just want a little added protection on the longer rides, and if it helps with fatigue and weather protection, even better... We are leaving from Los Angeles to Colorado on the 29th of this month. So hope to locate a used pair, or I may give in and buy new...

I'm taking a week long trip from Los Angeles to Colorado, and was thinking of putting on some tank wings.. Currently I have the BMW sport screen with a Laminar lip. And GS hand guards.. They are kinda funky looking, and not exactly cheap.. Worth the investment?
Thanks Zamp

Anyone know where I can get the quick release pins for the Luggage lids? This way I can quickly change from City, to the larger size lids. Iv'e seen them before, but can't seem to find them anywhere..
Thanks

This crash was back in 07..My friend Paul was behind me on his GS.. He took the picture, and it made the back page [Slipsteam] of Cycle World March 07.. I still have the bike, it's got 54 k, and I don't plan on getting rid of her.. The tank was dented, the front end tweaked, broke the windscreen, ta...

Hit some gravel, went off the road, the bike bucked me off, and landed upside down.. I was OK, and the bike was repaired.. What a...

I live in Southern Cali and the one pc Stich is a little too warm for the summer.. I used tent seam sealer on the inside flaps to cure the leaky croch problem.. no more leaks..
My next suit I think will be a Motoport 2-pc mesh..cooler in the summer..

Bring a spare valve stem for your tires.. I have had two occations on different GS bikes where we had failure..

Have a great trip

I replaced the stock BMW sport shield with the Cee Bailey 14 inch sport.. It's the same height, and slightly wider than my stock sport shield. No buffeting at all, and provides better wind protection to the torso..
I'm 5'7 and would recommend the switch..
