Brian,
Thanks for that info. I think the possibility of maybe wanting a rack in
future may rule out the Roadeo. I don't know that I'll want racks, but
it's certainly possible. So, I think this narrows down my choice to the
AHH. Yeah. One more decision done. :)

You echo some of my sentiments on this. I don’t want something just for

Beautiful bike. Thanks for the front look at the bars. Now that I see the
angle, I'm not sure I would want the inward tilt on the tops. I may prefer
flat tops also. Is there a different bar with flat tops that still has a
flare out at the drops?

Thanks for that comment. I appreciate it. I know I'm likely to mix things

That was some good information. I think you identified my taillight and
simplified my lighting also. I had not heard of the Garmin Varia Rearview
Radar. That's awesome. Besides, I like gadgets. It would provide two
useful features in a single device and thus replace a regular taillight.
Speaking of the Garmin Varia, it looks like rack mounts are starting to be
created.

It looks like for a single bag, I will be going with a saddlebag instead of

Thanks for the thoughts. It's helpful. I suspect I will require a rack in
order to best use the Garmin Varia rearview radar. Attempting to clip it

radar beam. So, I am planning on a rear rack for that. In the ru
