extended everything - KPnuts - 28-11-2006 I was told to buy a Pan by many of my amigos to enhance the experience of a ride through belguim, France and down to the Costa de la sol this summer. A 3500-mile trip never to be forgotten (well, I could quite easily forget the cousin I brought along). I couldn’t abandon me TDM850... no way.. but.. the wind, oh dear the wind. I’m a little over 6ft and even though I’d purchased an extended screen it was tiresome. A particular spot heading upto Zaragoza had me down to 30 miles an hour and eventually left me resting well before my intended stop time. I am planning to tour Spain again next May, with the wife aboard this time, but whilst the bike was on the paddock stands last weekend I thought.. Could I do anything else besides fitting a 6ft screen... so I was wondering if there are any mods I could do to help. I’m sure its been discussed before but I’m new here so that’s my excuse. Another thing.. i let my tdm 900 goto to my brother in-law without me going anywhere on it.. i fell in luv with the 850 my mate was selling... is the 900 a different animal in the wind department?? extended everything - amarko5 - 28-11-2006 <!--quoteo(post=23139:date=Tue 28th Nov 2006, 07:01 PM:name=Kpnuts)-->QUOTE(Kpnuts @ Tue 28th Nov 2006, 07:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec--> I was told to buy a Pan by many of my amigos to enhance the experience of a ride through belguim, France and down to the Costa de la sol this summer.
