I obviously lean towards MOCO OEM.

I went with the Tbag windshield bad because it had slanted corners and would tuck nicely behind my lowered windshields..it didn't last a year. It was pleather and cracked open on all the corners w/in the year. It was fairly inexpensive and there ya go.

Here's what I've learned -
Expensive doesn't always mean Quality.
More often than not - Quality is Expensive.
If you check something out and it seems junky but it costs alot - walk away.

I bought my bike in 1994 - In 1995 I needed a new back tire - I had the dealer put it on - long story short they damaged the bike and refused to repair it - I bought the shop manual and the bike has never been back to a shop since. I just made all the repairs myself after a tappet roller bearing failure - would have been at a disadvantage without that manual. You'd be surprised how many people don't even know what a shop manual is.

Great to have you as part of the forum!!

Yeh kinda like traveling without a map!!

Unless one has an inside friend/contact I am finding the dealerships flat out sh*tty,rude and out to screw the rider at every corner..wow. All 3 dealerships in my radius suck. I'm not adding a GPS or XM to my bike because I don't know they can install it properly or if it doesn't work that they'll stick with it until its right. I went in the other day just to see what I would need for parts/prices and I had done some investigating prior. Good thing because they were adding things I no way needed so I was like...never mind,lol.

While I really like XM I'll bring CD's and a map has always worked just fine although the GPS is awsome. Have one on my truck and it is the the sh*t.

Great way of putting it - I'd study the manual just like I study a map the day before a ride.
Plus - doing it yourself makes it just that much nicer when it runs great.
