Thanks guys, I really like the bike. Got the dealer to include the sundowner seat, (awesome saddle), the detachable passenger and driver backrests. The only changes I need to make, the reach to the handlebars is a bit too far. I'm thinking of changing them to wild1 518's. Also, the windshield is too high. The top is right in my sight line. It needs to be about two or three inches shorter. I'm 6'0" tall, so I gotta guess that this shield is too tall for most folks. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions or advice regarding the handlebars, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rick



P.S. Hey Bruce, I'm just barely old enough to remember the old Sky King series. The nickname was given to me by a lieutenant I worked for when I got my private pilot, single engine. Last name just happens to be King. ;-)

Hey skyking congrat's on the ride and have you considered 2 1/2" up and back riser's on the handle bar's, just a thought and I know what you mean about them being a far reach, I set on one before I bought my bike and I couldn't get comfortable with the bar's either and to tell the truth neither did I on the Heritage thus the riser's.[sm=smiley20.gif]
