New Forza 300 owner here. Bought a used one yesterday in Indiana and rode it home through several heavy storms.
Pros: Sticks to the road amazingly well, even when suddenly finding myself in 2 feet of water running across the road and soaking my jeans up to my knees even though I was wearing rain pants fastened firmly at the ankle over them. The bike never hesitated! I didn't know Honda equipped its scooters with snorkels! Love the handling and the amazingly smooth engine! Love the ABS! Love the dry storage area under the seat and still don't know how it stayed that way. Love the great mileage!
Cons: Can't see a straight road behind me with either mirror. Glad I have biceps when riding at 110 kph -- the tiny windscreen protect only my stomach. (Ordered a Givi tall when I got home, as I was tired of feeling like a recumbent version of Rollie Free.)
Question: Does anyone make a stem adapter to raise those mirrors, and if so, where do I buy them? Or a mirror set for the bike that works for tall people? (I'm not a machinist.) Thanks for any suggestions...
