Yes. I believe I have every OEM accessory except for the lower fairings.janus, is that the factory Honda resin rack?

They make tough self stick clear tape you can put in those areas. I had it on my FJR saddlebags. Being old and stubby legged I kicked them every time I got on and off.View attachment 44511
Installed kappa racks, kappa k33 side cases, emgo top box, and a Madstad windshield. Got out for the first ride with these this afternoon...
The Madstad is a nice improvement over the stock shield - considerably less wind noise. Can't say that I even noticed the cases while riding.
Only issue is that I find that I'm scuffing one or more of them with my boot every time I get on or off the bike. Guess I need to work on my technique!
930 km on the bike (new '20) after today's ride.

Look for 3M brand double sided automotive tape. It will stick something to your bike for a decade, but can be removed if you really work at it and when removing it the tape will not damage to the factory paint. I've used it on vehicles and several projects. It is a 'foam' core tape and as close to weatherproof as is possible.Hey thanks, that's not a bad idea...probably going to try that!

I think I'm at the point where I can officially consider my bike broken in. I am about a month shy of owning my '17 for four years, bought it with 8 miles on the clock. I don't remember what it was at before I test rode it.
Anything significant to note about your 50K ownership? Any issues other than normal wear items?View attachment 44534

No, it's been mostly smooth sailing. I did blow out the dampening on the stock shock around 46k, but I did load up the bike with lots of weight (2up multiday touring) on multiple occasions. That was one of those hidden blessings, like getting in a car accident. When I got to the doctor, he said the shock had a hidden cancer— cheapness! I can't say enough good things about Cogent Dynamics and their work.Anything significant to note about your 50K ownership? Any issues other than normal wear items?
YeahWow, that' a lot of chains and sprockets in 50,000 miles. I turned 57,000 miles today on my CB 1100 and on my second set of chains and sprockets. I expect to get yet another 20,000 out of this set.
Rode both bikes yesterday evening after I got off work...I have a 20 mile circuit which has 200+ curves-some 90' stuff-...but below is what I woke up to this morning:
yea, I have the elevation changes too....also....record amount for snow for this date in Louisville and southern Indiana....almost 3" at my house overnight (and it didnt start until after 1030pm-I went to bed at that time, so dont know when it actually started)...I have a similar loop I like to ride a couple days a week. It's a little longer at 32 miles, but similar number of curves, with elevation changes. Nice having roads like that starting when you leave your driveway isnt it? Yea, we woke up to 2-3" of that stuff here too. A new record snowfall for this date in Cinti.
