Truly a beautiful bike, Jim. I think the fenders look great, but I'm
biased since I run the same fenders on my Ram, with 28 mm tires. I
would suppose fenders are rare in Tucson, but I'd bet they keep the
bike a lot cleaner. How do you like the bag? Are you tempted to put
too much weight into such a big bag? How does it affect handling?
