Summary:
It's a pleasure to ride
Faults:
None, other than battery runs down due to the bike alarm, but this has been sorted by fitting an Optimate battery trickle charger.
General Comments:
I love the bike to bits.
It looks great (colour, black and blue), sounds great with the new "Screaming Eagle" exhausts on it, and really does the business.
I have changed the back shocks to give a better ride (probably because I am a big guy).
The seat is going to have to be the next thing to change. The original seat, is in my opinion, quite poor for such a good bike. Needs a sprung seat.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the bike.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes

I too have had issues with the seat. It's WAY too uncomfortable, too hard in my opinion, but as far as the bike itself, I have an '08, and have Vance and Hines short stacks with stage one kit, and a V & H fuel monitor. And the performance is awesome!! Other than a battery issue this spring, it lasted me 3 seasons!! So bought a new battery. Wouldn't start. Battery no good. Oh, and the seat; bought one on eBay, purchased a Badlander.. Comfy.
