In that time I found another seller with the same flyscreen for less than half the price, and it took 3 days for it to end up in the states and will be delivered some time next week, hopefully Tuesday. It pays to shop around.

This is the flyscreen, if curious. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196367240040

I also did run across a set of cheaper saddle bag stays for the Super Meteor that I think will suit my needs for my Shotgun. It only mounts to two points - the top shock bolt and a hole on the passenger peg/muffler mount bracket. They can only mount to the outside of the frame for the shock mount, which does make them stick out a little wider than I would like, but the mount locations are also not very square and need a little influencing, so I can tweak them to work.



I went ahead and ordered the first set of saddle bags I looked at in post 31. A little smaller than the other set, but their being water resistant is a little more appealing than the textile ones if my bike has to sit in some rain while parked at work. Again, it pays to shop around. These bags were $110 on Amazon, and $65 on ebay, from the same company.

I went ahead and ordered a set of the compact engine guards as well. That sorta rounds out my upgrades and accessories for now until he aftermarket can get an exhaust for it. Eventually I want to get a tail bag for trips, but there is no hurry for that. The same company that makes the bag I ordered makes this bag that I am considering. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...GM9K7GWGH&th=1

I really like this one, but it is also the most expensive. It does also have a lot of nice features to it

Other than that A waterproof roll top duffle of some kind as another possibility.
I just watched Tucker Carlson's latest video on how Amazon removes the seller's "buy box" when they charge less at another site like eBay. I was rather disgusted. My guess is there is some kinda revolution amongst Amazon sellers going on right now. Also, something like 50% or more of the sellers on Amazon are Chinese owned businesses. Quite possible mass exodus of US based companies from Amazon.
