Love the Blue, I was torn but ended up going with the orange. Those mods you mentioned are all this bike needs.

Have fun!

Congrats on the new scoot. Of the four Harley's I have owned over the past twenty odd years, this is by far the best one ever. I've never had a stock bike that wanted to pull so much off the line and when passing. Your addiction will be tough to handle, but hey, when you fall off the wagon, you can just jump back on your new scoot and get some wind therapy instead of counselling. Enjoy the new scoot.

Sweet color, admitting your addiction is the first step. Not sure if you can be cured, enjoy!

I almost pulled the trigger on a M8 last week in Laguna Orange. It was about 3k more then I paid for the blue. 2 different dealerships. What exhaust are you running on yours?

I've done seat, windshield, mufflers, AC, SE tuner, KST bars. Love this Roadie, it's perfect!

That is a sharp color. Still miss my 07 in Orange. Had they offered that color in a RGU I would have been on it.

Sweet RG and that is a nice blue!

I've never had a stock bike that wanted to pull so much off the line and when passing.
This is what sealed the deal for me on buying an M8. Pretty amazing performance for a stock heavy bike!
