Sheesh... where do I start? First of all, can you say 'chrome everything'. I've actually been blinded by my own chrome a few times... how cool is that! It took a minute for the silver metallic to grow on me, but I'm down with it now. The ride is like butter, just smooth and flowing. The stock hand controls are in a very comfy position although I'm gonna be changin bars, risers, grips, and mirrors to roll with my 'Maltese Cross' theme. The foot controls are the only thing I have a problem with. I'm tall and skinny and got big paddle feet. At it's most extreme adjustment, I can't get my toe under the shifter. I've been shifting with the side of my foot, and around some left turns I can't shift. I'm workin out a way to move the foot controls forward 3 inches, and tilt them back 30 degrees. Performance... yes, I have to use the bathroom more often. The very first upgrade, and perhaps the only one related to function that's gonna happen, was drag pipes. Loud pipes save lives, and also allow you to hear your engine rpm's at highway speeds. Other than that nothing needs to be done. All the baddness is already built in. The seat is very nice... and puts me in the 'ultra low and cool' position.
These bikes are cooler than any hog. Lighter, reliable, better mileage, ride better, look better and I didn't get jacked in the showroom. AND... like the other dude said... it literally does pay for itself.
Upgrades/Accessories: Removal of passenger seat, Drag pipes, Maltese cross headlight, and custom headlight mount made by me to match the profiles of the tree. Coming soon... iso flame grips and pegs, stiletto end caps, goth mirrors, DS 8 inch risers, custom z-bars made by me 2 inch rise 3 inch pullback at a 15 degree down angle, iron cross taillight to match headlight (that I will modify to be as bright as the sun), and backrest (cause I'm NOT gonna call it a 'sissy' bar) made by me to sorta match the 'raptor' bar where I will mount the light and plate... I wanna open up that big back tire area. After all that I'll probably start thinkin bout some wheels.
