1st time I've seen a reely good pic of your whip. Where did the fairing and engine bars come from?

Parabellum Scout fairing and windscreen.
Engine aka crash bars are OEM BMW.
I've been pounding on the GS lately. Last Friday we explored the "Pa outback" north of State College. Ha, 1200 GS ADV guys were behind me, read scared shitless on some of the off road sections.
Stopped in at Kissell's BMW for Dave to buy parts for his GS. Test rode a brand new K 1600 GT for 70 minutes. I must admit, it is SMOOTH on the interstate,aKin to a GoldWing. At 100 mph + plus feels like 50 mph,typical BMW road confidence.

Yep, sometimes I look down at the speedo on Chile Red and it says 100. And I say WHAT? Really? If it is somewhere that I shouldn't be going that fast, I rock it back. But if not, YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAA!!!

That's because you're really only doing 90. (Calibrate your speedo - info in Lieberry.)

Yah, I knew about the speedo inaccuracy. I can fantasize, can't I?

Anyone here remember when the speedo only went to 85 ?
The government actually thought that if the speedometers only registered 80 mph, then people wouldn't go as fast, and certainly never go over 80 mph. How wrong they were.

A family friend has a Porsche 928. It has the stupid 85mph speedo. As soon as we get an 85 mph speed limit somewhere:
But officer, It said I was only going 85! :biggrin:
Top Speed: 150+ mph
