My trip to Deals Gap. Taken at Lake Fontan's dam. Tallest dam east of the Mississippi. I think the water is 480 or so ft deep at the dam. It is about 30 min from Deals Gap in W North Carolina.
My and my ZR on the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, taken in June of 2003. My bike was still blue then (Pre-ROTR crash) and had a Givi fairing which got broken in a minor lay-down.
Here's my ZR after getting repainted metallic black this summer. It's now also wearing a Yosh pipe and a Buell Blast flyscreen painted to match, but I haven't taken any pics yet.
Here's my dearly departed 01. Had alot of options too.
Sargent seat
Napoleon Mirrors w/mirror extenders
Fenda extender
Kawi Engine guards
Five Star 3bag luggage racks
Holeshot Slip on
Ignition advance, 4+
Rear Hugger
Scott Oiler
ST screen
and more...
The 01 was washed before the pic was taken, I'm sure. The 02 pic was taken up in Tazewell, VA when I was scoping out some roads 4-5 weeks before our last ROTR, hence, no major scrubdown out of town.
The ST works pretty good for us shorter folks - however, you do still get the pushed around some when you start getting up around 75mph or more (indicated) on the highway. Not a real problem cause I'm usually not doing major highway mile crunching anyway. The shield would probably work pretty well for you.
