Picked up a leftover 08,14w/ABS about 8 days ago, new bike with a 3 year warranty. Have 500 miles on it and a ton of questions, if I may. I had a 99 Concours which was a tad bit tall for me at 5'10". Dropped it three times at no speed, gravel,etc. The new 14 seems as tall, but weighs a bit more and seems to have a lower center of gravity, but still scary for a 67 year old. I'll put up with the heat this summer because I like fall and early winter riding, but, even in the full up position, the windscreen is too short and I must wear soft ear plugs inside my full face helmet. Can I swap out a '10 new and improved (higher) windshield by just buying and bolting to my hardware? Will that do the trick? I am also considering risers for the bars, but it doesn't look like the short cables will permit it. Surely they left enough cable to come up an inch or so. Also,and I think I know the answer to this one. Can I put an aftermarket throttle lock on it like I had on my 99. It takes some getting used to but carpal tunnel makes it hard to be out there all day. Sorry this is so long but I just got my membership materials in the mail today and I have ridden the 14 every day since I got it. I am a little intimidated by the weight and size, but when cruising along at higher speeds, it seems exceptionally well mannered.
