Great Suspension!
Everything else is just there to supplement it.

OP, just go ahead and post those pics and the mod list...

sure why not lol. ‘22 SGST, 12” bars, BadBoyz Cyclez Venom seat, backrest and pillion, Legend Axeo Performance front suspension, RWD RS1 piggyback adjustable rear suspension, SE head pipe, Tab Performance 50 Cal slip ons and the final piece for my “performance build”, the SE 135 Stage IV crate w/SE clutch upgrade with SE Pro Street Tuner, trask vented tranny cover. Currently putting break in miles on. Once warranty is up, I’ll consider upgrading a few things, but as of now, I’m liking what I’m feeling.

For the most part, an oxymoron.

As of late I'd say one that won't break down or blow up before I can get it paid off.

My TC "performance bagger" build is like all my builds and take the sleeper route. Current state is with 124 S&S crate motor and supporting mods at 130ish/130ish, Man O War compensator, True-Track braces, DME swingarm and Ohlins out back, 18 /19 wheels, GP 25mm cartridges up front, 6 piston brakes, big brake kits, Thrashin Supply Apex boards and relocated controls. More soon as I'm planning a Kraus inverted front end.

I enjoy ripping the canyons on both this and my Dyna LRS performance builds. Ive humbled a few crotchrocketeers on them (I'm also a crotchrocketeer). Never a set with worn out centers and usually through sets at 5k miles. Good problems to have. Some older pics (Ive recently swapped to a solo seat setup).
