I recently purchased a few things from FastEddy. Summer is coming so I got the Dart Flyscreen for more airflow. I had a full size one up there before. I also purchased the riders backrest. After the first few months on the BA i actually started lamenting the purchase thinking this was the most uncomfortable bike I have ever ridden and that is coming from riding only crotch rockets in the past. Thanks to this site I figured out a few things that may be helpful. I first added a set of progressive shocks. WOW! No comparison to stock, just amazing. Then I added rivco risers. Decreased the strain on my back, ride improved. Now with the backrest on I am forced to sit on my sit bones instead of my sacrum which makes the long rides tolerable. The dart screen is great, too. No buffeting of my head like the full screen does. Combined with the backrest it's just about perfect. Iphone pics but they didn't come out too bad. Enjoy.

Just so you know, the general idea for the Member's Forum is one thread per member per bike (or one thread for a member and all his/her bikes). No need to change anything at this point (and I can't combine threads), just thought you should know. Just keep adding photos to this thread in the future. But definitely keep adding them!

Oops, sorry 'bout that. I'll keep it in this one from now on. Thanks for the heads up.

No worries. "It's really more of what you'd call a guideline."

Like John said it's only a guideline.

Or else.
