Thanks. The screen is the Ztechnik. I like it. It took some time to adapt to it as there is some buffeting but overall I think it's great and a keeper. I haven't tried other tall screens on this bike so I'm not able to make a comparison.

It was in the 30's with heavy cloud cover and then the Carolina Blue skies prevailed for just a few minutes. Didn't have my camera so this is a crappy cell phone shot of the bike, but it was a nice Winter ride around Lake James. Hollywood did some film work here for "The Last of the Mohicans".

Now THAT looks like fun!!! Since Don explained it to me, I'll pass it on: click the 'Img' button when posting a reply, follow that with the URL address location of the image then click the 'Img' button again. There may also be info on webshots about which link to use...

Sorry, I was a dope, the info was in a PM. I looked at Webshots.com and I didn't see the button anywhere that I used on PhotoBucket.com. There is usually a button that indicates a URL for use in online forums.

On the bottom right corner of your photo in Webshots there is an icon that looks like an open book. When you hold the mouse over it the message "copy the code to post this photo in a forum" shows. Click this icon.

Next you'll see a box with various pixel sizes available on tabs along the top. Click the tab with the pixel size you want. In this case I'm using the tab "425".

Once you click the tab you'll see three boxes with code. The second box down is labeled "Direct link to image". Copy the code from this box.

In your posted reply here, click the "Img" button. You'll see Image

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tobes. I'm trying it, but the preview doesn't show an image. Maybe it's my Mac...

If the photo still doesn't show, just click on the link to see me and my wife on our new ride, dressed for Jan 20 Santa Barbara weather.

Cool side cases - very sharp. That a custom paint job?

Yes, I had a local auto body shop spray the cases black to match the bike, and then had the pin-stripes painted. Total cost was $200.
