General Comments:
I got this bike brand new. It is a big bike and came with lots of chrome. I rode it as stock for a couple of years and then had it customized without changing the suspension, ie: custom paint which was ridiculously expensive. Had everything done that would make it a show bike and it really does draw a crowd.
At any rate, once all of this was done I showed it once at Street Vibrations in Reno. That one week of showing it was enough for me to just want to ride it and pass on the showing.
It is a big boy bike and has been setup for my 6'2" body. I have ridden it to Boise Idaho, Lake Tahoe, Elko, NV. San Diego, lots of open road trips. It keeps up with everything. These are long bikes and the curves are more challenging than on a sport bike. It sounds amazing and the acceleration is first rate. It has a hypercharger on it and the exhaust has been tweeked. It really is a conversation starter. I took the back seat off so people would quit asking for a ride.
The driver seat has been modified with a gel insert and I can ride for hours. It is an amazing machine and I highly recommend it if a big bike is in your future. It is reliable and always ready to go.
