That's the L model. Maybe we shouldn't have joked about Lady!

That's a good looking cruiser. Are you thinking of replacing the tires soon? From the picture they look pretty old. It's not good to ride around on old tires, doesn't matter how much tread they have left.

Thanks for sharing Mr. buckeyemike. Keep us informed of your progress.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Looks to be installed correctly from what I can see. Maybe post a photo of the rear mounts. It looks like a NC Plexi II. I have one and it has a better mounting system than the Slipstreamer IMO. I did cut some of the bottom mounting pins off and lowered mine as much as possible to cut back on the wind resistance. I am about 5'-9" and prefer to look over the shield than through it. I cannot tell from the picture but you might want to rake the angle back to even with the fork angle or more if you can. In my signature line the 1100 has the fairing at the slightly forward rake angle the PO put it at. I got a headshake at 95+ MPH one day so after I changed my shorts I have since raked it back as much as possible and no more headshake. I agree with BassCliff, those tires have got to go even if they have a lot of tread left. Before I became "educated" on this forum I had a few sets of the Quailfiers and they are a lousy tire for traction, rain and cornering compared to the modern tread design tires. Do a search and you will find lots of options and opinions. Chen Sin Hi -Max, Avon Roadriders, Pirelli Sport Demons, and Dunlop Elite III are all good tires in order of cost. The Elite III's are supposed to last the longest of the above bunch and I have a new set I am testing on my 1100 with about 3000 miles on them and I have had them leaned over to the edge of the tread, out in the rain and like them a lot. Great tire IMO.
