What is the trick to removing the front cover?  I tried, but was unable to figure it out.  The manual wasn't much help.  The downtown is much harder to remove the body panels than either of my Yamahas.

I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a Biondi windshield for my Downtown.  Both my wife and I liked the look of it much more than the Givi.

Question for the people who have ordered from them.  How has their service been? 

I ordered a windshield from them last Saturday, and got the standard "Thank You We appreciate your business" web page, but have not received any confirmation email.  I used my wife's Paypal account and it has debited money from the bank account.  On Thursday, I sent an email inquiring on the status, and did not get a response.

So far I am rather disappointed in their lack of responsiveness.   

Thanks for the photo.  I may have to wait a little while to get the top case.  I need to do other work on the scooter.  A college student on a bicycle was in front of me on my right side, and made a left turn directly in front of me.  While trying to avoid her, I laid my scoot down.  I still hit her, but not as hard as it would have been.  I broke the windshield, and scraped the left side up bad.  I am pretty banged up too, I had x-rays taken and nothing is broken.  I have some bruises, road rash, a sore shoulder, swollen knee, and strained leg muscles, my I tore a hole in the sleeve of my leather jacket and ruined my jeans.  My helmet did not hit the ground.  My armored gloves are scraped, but are fine.

I need a new windshield, and the left side cover below the footrest is worn all of the way through in places.  I think that I will try to just clean up and spot paint the damaged black and white panels for now.

I don't want the case to overwhelm the bike.  I also don't want the case to look too small or be lacking space when I want to carry a lot of stuff.  I commute on it and use it to get groceries.  I will probably also be using it to take the kids places.  The 2012 is 2" narrower than the 929, so it should look smaller.

Jwalz1, do you have a pic of your case?  What are the dimensions on it.  Be stem also has the 2008, but I have seen conflicting info on the size of it.

Thanks for the pics mnpugdog.

I think I will be getting the T-Box 2012 42L.  The size seems just right for the Downtown. 

I am wondering if the white would match my white Downtown. 



Probably not, I am guessing the gloss black would look best.



Here is my 10-year-old daughter about to go on her first ride with me tonight.

Be careful about shimming the variator.  It can cause the belt to be out of alignment.  This produces more heat and quicker wear of the belt, even catestrophic failure that can da.age the variator and the clutch.  If you can keep the belt alignment in the normal range you should be okay.  You may be able to order heavier weights of the right size that might help.
