I put a Ztechnik on mine as soon as I bought it. I find it provides decent protection without detracting from the looks. There is no buffeting even at triple digits.

And on the Chiefs, I've been a fan since I lived in Leavenworth in the Derrick Thomas days. I wonder what odds I could have gotten if I placed a bet that they'd be the last undefeated team in the NFL.

How tall are you and what is your inseam? I'd like to know if your experience would apply to my dimensions.

Thanks.
