Friday-Sunday rode 700+ miles. Explored dirt roads, ripping tar, and camping in the redwoods. Ended getting soaked in a microburst after crossing the 90 degree Central Valley. Couldn’t imagine a better weekend.

Sounds similar to my experience coming from the big V-Strom then. I have found that after some time I did acclimatise to the wind on the highway, but I am currently looking at this tower for mine when funds permit, as well as a MSC RM3 Steering Damper, the rear screw-top fuel cap and some twin pegs down the track. Glad to hear you're enjoying it.

I don’t think I can ever acclimate to that much wind, especially at 80-85 mph. It’s pretty harsh. I’m thinking maybe the Nomad ADV Tower but it’s a lot of cash. https://www.nomad-adv.com/store/p1137/FE2-24NomadNavigationTower.html
