Re: Sulfur Yellow Vesco Rabid Transit Tourer
the whole bike looks quite nice. generally i dislike fairings, because all i've seen are the vetter offerings, but this one looks much better

Re: Sulfur Yellow Vesco Rabid Transit Tourer
That is a sweet ride
Have you considered a backrest? I could NOT ride any distance without pain till I got the folks at Utopia to make me a backrest. MAN, what a difference....put my feet up on the hiway pegs,lock the cruise, lean into the backrest. Much nicer now!

Re: Sulfur Yellow Vesco Rabid Transit Tourer
Love the Vesco fairing...I've never seen one in person...have you noticed an actual increase in gas mileage because of it?
Congratulations on BOTM!
I think the 76 is one of the best GL's because of the higher revving motor and you have one of the best colors to boot!
Would you post up some more pics please?

Re: Sulfur Yellow Vesco Rabid Transit Tourer
Good looking scoot! The vetter is functional, classic, but not spectacular in the looks department. That fairing is pretty sweet! The whole setup just flows and obviously works well! Congrats on bike of the month!
