silverstar1300

Hello All ! I just purchased a 1300 tourer last week. I really enjoy riding this bike after years of riding Kawasaki Nomad. The Nomad was just too heavy for me . I am 69 years old and find the 1300 much easier to handle and plenty of power. I have had the dealer do the 600 mile oil and filter change. He said not to worry about the valve adjustment for the next 3 or 4 thousand miles. It is my intention to keep a close ear for valve noise and screw the 4,000 mile interval. My first complaint is the noise from the transmission. Seems to vary with speed and acceleration. Any of you guys find the wind buffeting behind windshield bad ? I looked for lowers but found none I liked. I am lucky to have some metal working experience and bought some stainless steel and made a set of lowers that worked even better than expected ( better than on the Nomad). I am looking forward to many enjoyable trips on this bike. James
