trickle down economics
I'm going to pick it up Friday morning. I will be there before the doors open. 1.5 hour ride home and onto the table lift she goes. Custom Dynamics lights, plate bracket, rear crash bars, bag liners, and swap a few parts over from the 2019 RGS. Then hit the highway again.
And God bless you people buying new motorcycles.
I couldn't buy the used ones I do unless someone was doing that.
Well maybe not a CVO but thanks anyway.

I snapped a couple of pics of it today. I went and put a few more miles on it. I played around with the dispay for a while. By spring I might have it figured out, but i doubt it. It needs a 135 Stage IV badge for the a/c but i dont think they make one. Fugly reflectors need come off the forks. Still waiting for the title. Hopefully next week....

Stock ST mufflers have a 2” perforated core, just removing the 1.5” decibel reducers will get you all the flow the engine needs. I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to remove the packing on perforated cores. It can do weird things with the pressure waves, which affects flow and can knock torque out of it. Here’s a recent thread with a 135 dyno outcome running the stock ST mufflers

Why do you want a badge on it?
Anyone who appreciates motorcycles will know what it is.
You know what it is.
And your bank and insurance agent certainly knows what it is.
Anyone not into motorcycles isn't going to know what a CVO or 135 is anyway.
