Yesterday, FedEx tracking said delivery July 6th and with the long weekend coming up I was a little disappointed to say the least. Then today Lynn ask me if I wanted some good news and said the Goblin was on the truck for delivery. 15 minutes later, it was here. 10 minutes later we had it sitting on the 700 RED. If anyone is wondering about the extra cost of the painted version, this picture tells it all. Yes, it is a cloudy day in Central Florida. The paint is unbelievable!!! I have not tested it yet, but looking forward to the long weekend. I'll post more pictures next week but can tell you, the design and the quality of this fairing is very impressive.

Posts: 122 (07/08/09 11:26:06) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Here are some pictures of my 700 with new tail fairing. I'll write more about it when when I get some free time, but I will say everything about it is very cool and definitely makes a significant difference in speed over 20mph. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

I'm repulsed and attracted in equal measure. But when I then see that the shifters are down low, it begins to look like a multi-armed spider DOES ride that thing. I bet when children see it they will be struck speechless with awe and wonder, and fear. So, Catrike management has an unexpected dark side.

Your 700 really looks good, and the tail box tops it off, I think I'm going to have a hard time keeping up when we go riding. Congratulations. David

Posts: 131 (07/08/09 15:03:17) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	OK, maybe cool looking, but I've got to ask; with my stock set up my bar end shifters are on top of the control grips. I can shift, and brake, without removing my hands from the controls. You can even shift front and rear derailleurs simultaneously. What advantage does your setup have where you have to move your hands off the controls to shift, and you cannot brake if necessary while shifting? NNY
