i dont think the touratech windsheild bracket i bought recently helped at all. they are being kind enough to let me return it even though i scratched it up slightly. 15% restocking fee. it is what it is. ill have to revisit the wind issue another time… or maybe get some real world advice from other riders in the future with similar setups

im putting that money towards these:

new side cases that i ordered today! im really excited for these. i really did not think i could get side cases for less then $700 but the cases were $180 for the pair, and the bracket to mount them was $160. i cant believe the bracket costs just as much as the cases…

they should be here thursday. excited to install them, its going to make a huge difference in my daily riding experience.

they arent too wide which is key for city riding, but ill be able to put extra gear in there wihch is great.

the cases are by givi, the E21 in matte black. the mounting kit by givi is the PL188.

a few images i found on google. the bike in the photos is the same model as my bike but in red. ill put photos up of my installation when i get it.
