Good news about the windshield!
Just as I was leaving for the gym tonight I got a call from the parts department at my local Honda dealer. He said that the computer is showing the taller windshield in stock at the local warehouse. And not just a couple--SEVENTY of them! Because I am a member of their "VIP Club" I get 15% off on accessories, so the windshield is costing me just over $100 with tax. He said they should have it early next week. This is GREAT news! Of course I told them to go ahead and order it. So the one on order from Japan is going to get canceled right away. As soon as I hear it has arrived I'll arrange to take the bike in for the installation, and hopefully I can pick it up next Saturday.
If any of you folks needs one of these, just call (847) 699-9600 and ask for the parts department. The dealer is Des Plaines Honda, a Powerhouse dealership that has been in business for many years and is one of the country's largest.
