Rides great! Suspension is smoother guessing because of the extra sidewall. Less of a kick in the back. 6k miles in as of Aug 16, 2018, and the tire still looks like new. Totally recomend it. Installed a 205/55-17. Federal 595.

Get one of those flashing LED taillights. I've got one on mine that flashes when I hit the brakes, gives me a lot of peace of mind that some yahoo won't run into my back.

Look at customdynamics.com
I have their smoked laydown LED tail/brakelight and I also added their LED turn signals, front and rear. Very happy with all of them. Much, much better visibility than stock. Easy installation, I've had them almost 2 years, trouble free.

I have the lay down smoke Kuryakyn LED but if I had to do it again I would get the Custom Dynamics with the flickering option. I also have the Kuryakyn curved lay down license plate above it. Really cleans up the look on that back end. Mine is a 2010 and has the older electrical system. You should be plug n play with all the cool things without balancers.

I have the smoked Bright-Assed- Lights BAL2. Not cheap, but after a couple of failures of other "name-brands", I've had no issues here. Also, its programmable and even more importantly, BRIGHT AS F**K! no one ignores this brake-light.

Well I broke down on the Lo today for the first time. It was very hot and I was coming up to a stop light and she stalled. I rolled her into the gas station and let her cool down about 20 minutes and she started up and I was able to ride about 10 minutes albeit I could only go 30 MPH and it stalled again as I slowed for another stop light. I did not want to chance getting stranded again so I got a tow from HOG to my house. Any ideas of what to look for? Could the bike getting hot cause it stall?
