great bike. the only issues ive had are thin paint on the rear fender, causing it to rust up within a year of owning it. and the lacquer coming off the fork lowers. however, i do ride my bike all year round, here in the UK, and it rains for 3/ of the year.
reliability wise, its never missed a beat.

I have ended up doing a few mods after all. Slammer shocks on the rea. took off the stock rider seat replaced it with a double layer of Cardboard wrapped in Black Electrical tape, looks ok but, lowered my body down at least 3" for free and actually more comfortable than the stock seat. Black rear fender rack and Black 16" Sissy bar. Took off the mufflers and pulled the Fiberglass packing out, shortend the baffles to 6" long and re installed with rivets. Looking into a: Free or inexpensive Air Cleaner Mod that I can do myself (that works of course) and the FL-ViED-10 fuel enrichener mod. - I will try to leave it alone after that...
I thought I would love the quiet pipes and I do but, I have already had a number of cagers not hear me or see me and pull out in front of me or over into my lane then pull back, I see I need those loud pipes after all. When I finish these few more mods I may just pull the baffle out completely, the Cat is still in the collector of the head pipe.
