Hey trolle - great photos. A friend just came back from a sojourn in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Sweden - most envious.

Now tell me...is that max speed legal over there - or were you just hoping that the local gendarmes were looking the other way?

PS - you've done an absolutely bang up job on the bike. Way to go!  [smiley=thumbsup.gif] x2

Loved the photo show, Trolle!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

That house you grew up in is really nice, and the view you enjoyed while growing up there is also something to envy!

I'd LOVE to see more photos taken in Denmark!  I've not had the chance to see many photos of your lovely country.

And your bike is looking great, too!

Thanks for the show Trolle.  Great photos and a mighty fine looking bike.  Seeing the beauty of the countryside sure makes me wish I was out riding.  But alas, it's Monday morning and the sky is overcast.  Just for my information, and I may have missed this somewhere, what style RT fairing is that?  Is it frame mounted and do you get pushed around much in a high wind?

Thanks for the pics Trolle. Very enjoyable. RS is looking awesome and it's nice to see the fiords in sunshine,
Besides the technical help, it's the sharing of our photos which I feel make this such a great forum.

That's very impressive the way your Garmin has recorded the photo locations. How handy is that.

165 km/hr is about 101 mph, I'm quite sure Trolle has turned into a road' hooligan' with his newly reincarnated R65 !!! ;D

Not at all, I am just following the traffic, officer  ::) and BTW 165 km/h~102,99 mph.

Just for my information, and I may have missed this somewhere, what style RT fairing is that?Is it frame mounted and do you get pushed around much in a high wind?  
The fairing is an RS-fairing mounted in three places: On the front of the frame, where the thingummy holding the front of the fairing is fastened with two bolts, on the engine front stud with a bracket on each side holding the lower part of the fairing, and on the centre pipe of the frame through a beam holding the rear upper part of the fairing.

The fairing is very stable and as I haven't been riding in strong crosswinds, I do not know how sensitive the rig is. I will probably know tonight though.

Apart from a certain stiffnes in the steering and an increased turning diametre there are no drawbacks.

The fairing is very efficient especially at speeds above 80 mph and up to max speed, probably because the design forces the frontwheel down and thus eliminates the wobling otherwise induced by the lifting of the frontwheel at high speeds. A phenomenon I have experienced many times on the naked bike, especially with the top case and side cases mounted.

It took me a while to get used to the stiff steering as my body was used to the very prompt response the naked bike gives but after a couple of hundred miles on the highway I got the hang of it.

I will post more photos so keep tuned

greetings from a windy and cool but sunny north
