Sweet. I deployed planning to trade RK for a SG when I returned. But I thought about since I moved to a Ga from Va I was mostly scooting around and across town not long open road rides. Slim ended up being the perfect change for me. Plus I have ridden it all day and its as smooth as silk. Fits like I am a key in a lock.

Thank you! It has 9,000 miles on it. New tires, new battery, fresh fluids and lots of the expensive mods already done! Man I love your bike, the exhaust is badass! I'm thinking of putting shakers on mine, just not quite as tall as yours. I will likely do a redline pinstripe on the wheels as well.

That is one sweet bike. Looks like a larosa spring seat. May I suggest you look into the volcan works 4.5 degree rake kit which is just a steering stem that bolts in. It will lower the front end a little to make up for the added height of the 21 inch wheel
