Title: New Member and New C14
Post by: CitrusC14 on July 17, 2011, 06:59:42 PM
New member and proud new owner of a 2011 in silver.  I picked it up about  a week and a half ago.  Due to the weather, lots of rain, I've only put on 550 miles so far but absolutely love the bike.  So far I have decided that a bigger wind screen is needed ( I'm 6' 5" tall and the stock screen doesn't cut it in the rain) and I'm also looking for a smallish tank bag that will sit on the plastic area (strap down type) which will hold a GPS and a droid smartphone in a visable window for use purposes.  Any suggestions area appreciated. 

Thanks for the great site.

Tim

Tim....I also have a 2011 C-14 in silver, great bike, Welcome to the Forum. I'm sending you a link to a tank bag which I have and use on every ride. Very compact and holds a lot for such a compact bag, quality is first rate....have a look enjoy your new C-14, and ride safe.

Welcome to the nut house. On screens, expect a lot of opinions. I put a V-Stream on mine after considering all the choices. Plenty tall enough with room to spare for my 6-nothing.

On tank bags, I run a small First Gear Silverstone bag with a clear window on top. It can be either strapped or magnetic, as it comes with both options. I run it with the magnets. I've got a bigger First Gear Laguna tank bag for long trips.
