I didn't drop it it had been parked for about 15 minutes when a big wind gust came up and tossed it.

I was a good 30 feet away when it happened!

That's some blunt force wind...

That's no big deal, but I wasn't aware that there was a reason to order the Euro harness as well. Thanks for the heads up. I've been waiting weeks for the headlight setup already (they told me it could take 6...) so hope I can graft it together without the other harness, otherwise I'll be using the new light to check out the fall snowflakes...

Did you order the Xenon lamp separately after the fact?

You couldn't really use the US harness without some extensive fabrication, since it only has a single halogen plug (+ parking lamp bulb) whereas the European harness has two separate plugs.
I've had the xenon aux lamp since before the screen was even offered and the kit needed a bit of fettling to work with the new screen bracketry. To be honest the Xenon is sofa king bright that the DE's are fairly underwhelming in comparison. However, these days I guess it's possible to source some cheap HID replacements for the conventional lamps.
The screen kit I got was an NIB item from an inmate, which conveniently circumvented Touratech's protracted delivery schedule. Only after getting the screen painted and attempting assembly did I realize that it required the Euro harness......which of course was on backorder and took a month to arrive

Was kinda strange. The wind was really not blowing much when I parked. But from that spot going forward it was freakishly scary strong wind for the next 150 miles. (ish) The type of stuff that you swear is going to rip your helmet off and toss you!!

Took its toll for sure.

Really appreciate the warning, as at least I can get a jump on the wait time. I will get the Euro harness ordered and begin pointlessly waiting for it to arrive. Thought it was just me who had a quarterly delivery schedule from Touratech... Any idea what the part number for the harness is? Any info appreciated - I'm going off of this link:

My ride yesterday in the wind here had me drifting across the gravel. Had to really fight to keep her on the road.

My Touratech headlight guard still isn't here and no ETA either. Booooo.

Maybe it has something to do with being WFO as usual?

You know a supplier is slow when even the parts guy is steamed...

My savage beast!









Found no introduction thread btw, so here goes.

Male 33yr, married to lovely wife and own two big dogs. Dutch and proud of it. The ADV is my first big bike and it's heaven and hell. Driven it to the Nordkapp last year and there simply is no better bike imho. Next mod will be either suspension to R specs or a 17"/19" conversion (or both )
