Putting all my stuff here as to not clog the other thread...
After my 1994 Yamaha FZR got stolen/recovered (again), I saw a sweet '07 with 27k miles, bags, rack, skid plate
I googled it, and found that garandman has a poll on strom troopers about theft - the DL *hardly* gets stolen.
I also read what NHBubba/TheIglu/Garandman say. Whatever ish they write about the bike, I'm like - yup, they get me.
Goals: ugly bike, won't get stolen, comfortable for commuting (=95% of my riding...last track day was in NHMS 2010), locking bags for storage, light fire road stuff, and check the box for more touring/adv riding for 2017. LED lights all up front. Reflective strips on the cases. Cell phone charger with bar mounted X-grip. Wake up, ride to Joshua Tree/Vegas/Santa Barbara for lunch, and come home for dinner. Minimal valve adjusting. Cut back on the fire breathing '94 YZ250, which as I understand, is trying to murder me.
