I added a windshield

[DJK]

I live about 30 miles from the Dennis Kirk supply store and yesterday I went shopping. I bought a Slip Streamer SS-10 Viper windshield, a jacket, a pair of pants and an accu-gauge. That's a fun place to visit! The windshield went on pretty easily with the help of my wife holding it in place a couple times. I then went for about an hour ride to try it out. It was just like I read on here, a lot less wind hitting me, but a lot more noise going on in my helmet. Overall, I think I'm going to like it.
This weekend I'm going to put on saddlebag brackets and saddlebags. I bought the brackets that said use the existing bolts, but they're no where near long enough. I have a feeling it's going to be challenging taking those bolts out and putting in longer ones. Any tips that might help me would be appreciated.
I really like my first motorcycle and enjoy this website a lot.
