Thanks. The Dyna is under the covers for now. The glide is actually amazing in the cold. That ridiculously huge fairing and shield keeps the wind off so much so that jeans and a leather jacket with a windstopper pullover are perfectly comfortable down to about 38. Add another layer and I'm good to freezing.

I won't ride below 36 or so for risk of ice.

I just put a FuelMoto e series 2:1 and a/c on last night. That and a nice tune from them and she's running real good. Haven't auto tuned yet, but I will in spring.

Here it is before the bear.

I'm waiting on a set of Ohlins fork cartridges from MotorcycleMetal - can't wait to get rid of the mush that is a stock front end...

Look at OE seat the older EG "Standards" came with...no hiding behind a backrest or Tour Pak

The seat? Or the thing in the pink dress?

Lol. Well, rest at ease all, the hammock isn't staying. Sitting on it for a nice long ride today - A Christmas present for me from Mother Nature - it was high 40's and sunny today! Got a couple of hours out while my girl was visiting her kids. Anyway, I find that it's really high and while soft and cushy, not a great seating position. I honestly like this Mustang I had previously better.

So hopefully Surdyke will take it back - at least for credit. Or else it'll be on the classified in a day or two. Yay...
