No Windshield Rick, bugs are a good source of protein, 
It’s a Ram Mount To hold, iPhone, GoPro or a Pint, DOH.
Although a windshield would be nice. Norton’s foot pegs are to far forward, so you can’t really lean into the wind, they need to be back about 4-5 in. The Interstate with the large tank is further back then the Roadster gas tank, which makes it even worse. At freeway speeds I put my feet on the rear pegs, feels safer.
I guess you probably don’t want any more boring info.
Ok if you insist, I’m swapping out the 19” rear wheel this winter for 18” and wider rim, as to be able to install bigger selection of tires. The front and rear are the same size, 19” x 4.10, which equivalent to a 3.50” tire.

I wish they were ! Naaa... I worked at my good friend , Rod's Triumph shop in his backyard for around 9-ish years. Lots of fine machinery I got to be hands on with. Great fun and paid to do what I love.

A friend helps a guy restore Honda CL350, only CL350s. They are 100 point show class. He has several Flying Dragon tanks, a parts option in the day. They were expensive and not bought for that reason. He finds them from older Honda dealers. He’s had then at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering.
