    Looks great. My fairings are headed to my painter this week. What windscreen is that? I’m looking for a good double bubble.

    Some quick notes...
    I bought these levers Dec 2025..from Spiegler... I live too close!...(me sucker)
    and they sat until recently...

    The thing is you have to have NBA player size hands for the adjustment to be useful. I leave it on (1)
    Also, at first they didnt actuate the clutch and brake switches. I had to spend time for a couple hours sanding some material off the tabs that contact the switches.
    Sand, check, sand, check... finally got it. Recommendation - avoid...

    Finally a quick thanks to all that followed and gave advise, humor and sarcasm to keep me going to get the thing done..

    Cheers and Beers all!
