Congratulations. I sat on one last week and liked how it felt. Should run well with that engine too. How's it corner?

Any chance you can measure the flat portion of the rear fender and report back with the width?

Congrats! Before they came out most people were calling them crap, road queen, etc. we've all seen the threads. But since they've come out there's hardly a bad thing said about them. I'm glad the MoCo has made a bike people like. I love it, I'd get one if they made it with a black engine

I looked at one at a dealer today. Looks good with or without the windshield and bags.

We measured it today at the dealer and don't remember exact measurements but it was just under 8". I was looking at putting it on my fatbob which is 9" so it was too narrow. They do not have the parts list out yet until next week but thinking about getting the mounting hardware for the bags to use on my own flh hardbags. I think they will fit in tighter to the bike than the ghost brackets. Have to wait to see how much the parts will be.

bike seems to corner as well as my 2000 low rider but it doesnt do it as fast if you know what i mean.the front end i,m sure is the reason for that.but its just as stable and will lean as far as i care to go.
