Great minds think alike Quick! I think I better ride it out for a while though...I mean she's only going to tolerate my B.S. for so long, lol. In all seriousness the 114 is one sweet engine... the only reason I'd consider it at this point is for the sound. And then there's that whole warranty thing...

Yep I’d say she’s a keeper. Mine just tells me to go to the dealer by myself and get it but about the same thing. I’m keeping her too. Enjoy the ride.

My wife never says no to the upgrades. She said if it helps the bike perform better and if it will help me feel more confident on the road to go for it since I am steering the horse.

That's really nice of you Jamie, she will absolutely love that. Just another reason why FM is always my first call when doing mods. Best CS in the business by a long shot. I suspect you'll be seeing (at least) that $600 sooner rather than later!
