My Attempt I got fed up with trying so made this from an idea off a guy in the states, it works fairly well & i think the lines fit in quite well with the Tracer, since changing my helmet i have noticed a big improvement in noise reduction so perhaps it's not all down to the screen but a...

Happened to a friend of mine some years back, he almost lost a leg!

Perfectly normal & it is how the Tracer should be, it does look a bit strange & on a couple of occasions i have been told that one of my bulbs has blown by helpfull pedestrians, hope you enjoy the Tracer, i know i do!

I have a Tracer with a SH48 top box & SH36 panniers, my wife & i have a combined rider weight of around 135kg, we have just done a 1035 mile long weekend trip to Cornwall with the luggage fully loaded, i averaged an indicated 75 - 85mph most of the way there & whilst there at one point we hit an...
