I have to agree, great bike. I have had a few more problems though. Engine cutting out due to a short in the kickstand switch. I have ordered a taller windscreen from Rifle. I hope this will eliminate the "pain in my neck" on long tours. Other changes, Vance and Hines carbon fiber pipe, handlebars off the "T" model and oh, of course a new Corbin seat. The original seat from the 97 was a butt killer! Other than that I will be buying some new "Touring" radials from Metzler this year in an attempt to change the interval for replacement on that rear tire. (9000 kms)at present. and about $450 installed here in Canada.
