I did my own alignment last week. Today, I logged three hundred miles, and if that short mileage is any indication, its better. The bike feels more relaxed, tracks straight, and isnt as twitchy. Now to watch the tires...
I have the wind deflectors on, with two mods, and like the way they are working. First, I have trimmed the outer most wing off the deflectors. Second, I bought some 1/4" steel spacers (like little barrels) to move them out from the body a bit. I figgered a bit of air running through couldnt hurt. I made sure to put steel washers against the tupperware to prevent the spacers from punching through.
Also, I put an extension strap, about 6", to allow the muffler to swivel downward a bit. Too far and it scrapes on bumps or with a load. My thought was to move the stink out of the blast zone.
Its working well.
YMMV.:ani29:
