You should cover those cracks on the tower with graphics. That might prevent it from breaking further. You would get two benefits it would cover it and preserve it. Omaha Nebraska USA

Right, I even have stickers provided by Adventure-bike.be, I only like the looks of windshield better without it...

You’re too kind with the brand. Either they provide you with proper torque values for fastening the bolts or they produce a resistant windscreen. The Rade Garage one looks a lot better finished and better integrated. Plus it has a much better lighting and no cracks. And much lighter as well (carbon). Isn’t it worth the price difference (because in the end it seems the price is your principal criteria).

Hey there and thank you for a great comment! 🙏 From a time perspective - I do not regret buying my tower. I was buying a pre production model for a fair price and I knew there could be problems. Most of them are solved now, a few still to solve, but I still like it. It serves the purpose in all important things for me. I absolutely agree - torque values and better instructions should be there from the beginning. Yet, would I buy Rade Garage tower now? Maybe. Definitely if they would produce a light version, without side plastics. I just do not fully like the way it looks now. The one I like the most today is Aurora Super Light kit, but it is quite expensive. All the best!

I’d have to pass on that one because of the poor lights, broken windscreen and lack of instructions. I’m thinking about the Brittania fairing at this time.

Thanks for the comment BlackdogADV! Some time ago I watched your video of 1957 Air Force F-100 crash site. In regards to Lynx fairing for 701 - I absolutely love the windshield adjustability of that solution. The overall look might be controversial, but in terms of functionality it seems superb. Cheers!

Sounds like you need rubber Grommets in the wind shield to cushion against the screw and tower.

[@CykloGamonie]

Hey Rick, thank you for the comment and you are absolutely right. I believe rubber grommets should be there from the very beginning, provided by the producer. I will make sure to add rubber when installing the new windshield. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing - I bought a 701 enduro late last season and look forward to putting many kilometers down this year.. I’m in Warsaw, like yourself. Is that a 3D moto fat Bertha brake pedal? Are you happy with it? Cheers, ride safe Steve

[@CykloGamonie]

Hey Finn and thank you for your comment! If you're in Warsaw, let's not be strangers and if you would like to have a ride together sometimes, please send me a private message on Instagram 👍instagram.com/rfk76/ And yes, it is a Fat Bertha lever. It works as expected, I haven't crashed with it, so it has not been tested for durability, but looks really sterdy. Cheers!
