Congrats PSU! I was wondering if you had sold the 48. It's definitely going to be a big change, but you'll love it. I went from the 48 to a softail to my 17 SGS and couldn't be happier.

Thank you, sir. It's good to hear from you and see you still around.

Do you love the new bike?

The first of many parts arrived today.





I doubt I'll keep the mirrors.. they're too small.



The clutch and brake master cylinder covers are different so only one fit.



Still waiting on my Edge Cut shifter but I installed the Joker Machine shift pegs anyway.

Nice bike, PSU. Looking forward to seeing your mods. I'm at ~ 3,500 miles and am still loving mine.
