How many is that for your mister? You're only allotted 4 sets per year.
I installed a new windscreen on the Adventure that makes the air MUCH smoother (thanks to ADVrider.com for the research). Next, I serviced my rear caliper and added new pads.

the above opinion is simply that of an average middle aged hick with one too many brain injuries... or, don't take it too serious.

It's the
Rally Raid screen
which I found at KTM Twins (dot) com. Which one did you go with on yours?

I have the stock screen. Once I switched mirrors and went to an Arai XD-3(4?) it seems to work pretty well? wind hits about eye level and no buffeting? I would like the wind to hit a few inches lower (to help the helmet venting) but don't know if it is worth screwing with?

This Rally screen is about 3" shorter than the stock screen. It worked great for me today on both country roads, urban traffic, and highway. I couldn't be happier.

Changed the air filter, oil filter, and oil this past weekend, which followed a brake fluid change-out earlier.
Washed it and rode it, too.

Good idea to keep it on the stand so it doesn't make a run for the grass.

Now that I’ve “learned” why one should take an early apex on turn 10, the bike stayed upright all day long. By the end of the day, I was taking 10 with knee down at 100MPH. I showed it who was boss. :bigsmile:
I ended the day with a race with the 8 of us seeking a race license. I started 8th and ended up 4th.
