Wednesday, some sort of heavily laden bug whacked into the switch assembly on the throttle side.... left a sticky spot like sap, a good 2" accross.

I'd like to know if the '07 and later fairings are producing similar results..... if anyone else is taking the same sort of abuse as me, that is. It would be quite painful, without heavy padded gloves.


You need to stop drafting those dump trucks...

I have noticed this, but, it is infrequent.
