Yep,I'm kinda sorry I didn't buy a trunk now! I have two other seat cowls so it's no problem for me to make something. I'd hate to lose the shipping but I still may get the EMGO piece and send the Fieldsheer back. With the hard case, weather is not a problem anymore. Hmmm...

Does this mean you've decided not to trailer the bike? You're buying luggage....

I just found that the bungees on my tailbag wore right through the clear and basecoat, and into the plastic on my tail. Add that to three days in a row of nice weather when I have cords showing in the rear tire, and I'm not happy right now.

Me too! Almost 600 miles! I thought I had the route and leave time planned. Then I realized I had Amorok and me hitting ATL too close to rush hour for my liking. So now I have us leaving alot earlier...he's not liking it.

I'm REALLY not looking forward to riding all those miles in one day. Noone better laugh when I'm finally able to crawl off the bike, damnit!

BTW, do you know where I can get a nice size bungee net? The last one I got here barely stretched over my rear seat and couldn't hold shit!

It's not that really small bungee net is it? That thing won't hold shit on my bike.

Fuck, I don't know biatch! get your ass to a dealership and buy a God damn net! I honestly don't know what size it is, if you want a really big net, go to Walmart and get one. They have really big ones!

I don't go to the stealerships around here. The couple of bike stores here only have the small cargo nets and they aren't worth a damn

I thought you'd know a little something about the nets since you seem to be Mr. Know It All with gear and most other bike accessories!
