|  Changed out a few things ... Not really big stuff here, but I replaced the Puig windscreen today with a new Zero Gravity double-bubble. As you can see from the pics below, the Puig had turned "purple" like bad tint ... ugly  . Also, some notable differences are that the ZG is about 1" longer at the top, a wider radius from behind and has a bit more aggressive cut for wind-slicing. Overall, I noticed a difference in turbulance at highway speed when tucked. Thumbs up on this trade-up!Purple Puig  New Zero-Gravity  Puig vs. ZG (1)  ZG vs. Puig (2)

| I also swapped out the ugly Progrip clear tank protector ... had bubbles underneath and I didn't like the way it came up over the two-tone paint. In place, I put the Suzuki carbon fiber. Nice!

| And not to be outdone by my buddy Steve (sundude), I purchased a Joe Rocket Manta tank bag. Super nice and definitely more at home on the sport-bike!

| Nice changes but I'm dying to know the HP and whether or not that rockin' powerwheels next to your bike is four wheel drive.

| Also changed the gas cap this morning from the Progrip to Suzuki's ... notice the "For Suzuki" imprint on the Progrip version ... tacky ... don't know why they did that. Look at the difference in carbon too! Now everything matches from the triple-tree to the tank. Progrip  Suzuki  Everything

| I would seriously heed Zuki Dude's words of warning. Our cruiser brothers have yet to recover from ZD's tornadic presence.  BTW, killer mods man! Reminder to self: Ensure EZridr1 does not let his brother read Zuki Dude's posts.
