Thanks Aerohead. Great recommendations, and a lot of news/info for me to consider. I heard of another guy, some years back, that created a boat tail with canvass material which got "inflated" as speed picked up - it had an air inlet. This saved a lot on weight, and allowed for easy install or take down. Just a comment that jumped to mind...

Now, let me check up the recommends you sent me. Stay cool, take care. Mike

PS: Oh, and the mirrors are killers! When doing long distances I simply fold them flat or (once) turned them horizontal.
