Since I lost one of my bags to spontaneous combustion, I had to carry my rain gear to work with me in a back pack. At highway speed, I noticed some really distinct buffeting around my head that I never noticed without the back pack. It was really surprising since the back pack is........well, behind me.

I also rode without the belly pan for the first time yesterday (I need to get some oil and checking the level is just easier with it off) but I don't think that would have anything to do with it.

Any way............just an interesting observation.

I`m quite shure that it`s your brand new license plate light bulb that causes this.

Well, maybe if I'd stop riding backwards at 75mph, that new bulb would quit causing me head-bobble. Laughing
