BTW I'll be happy to have you guys spend my money the right way!! Just hoping I don't have to spend too much right off the hop lol. Did a 3 hole change this weekend and ordered my new seat so hoping I can get away with that for the time being.. Noticed a bit of smoke coming from exhaust after siting for a few days. Pulled the air cleaner and noticed a bit of oil in the carb. wiped that clean, fired, and no more smoke. I just think this thing needs to go through the gears and clear out a bit. Read around some other parts of the forum and it seems pretty common.

She's got 47000 miles on her. Top end was re done less than 5k miles ago. It's definitely heavy lol. I've ridden sporty's dynas and buells in the past but I'm really diggin the dresser style. Want to do some good 2up trips with the girlfriend so trying this route out. Very happy with all the features like luggage and stereo for long hauls. Just need some better weather!
