I've managed to put a few hundred miles of my own on her finally, including a stint in Houston morning traffic. I really do like her. The only thing that aggravates me is the kickstand but I'm getting used to flipping the floorboard up...
Well, I got a firm delivery date of 15 MAR, all the customs paper work, insurance, ect!!! I just hope I will be back and able to take it by then, and get some room cleared out in the garage since the wife had to move on base and it is now packed wall to wall and needs to be reorganized and such. I think I will be very motivated to get that done!
I will need to room also to install my springer HD seat, flush mount caps and custom fabed exhaust so I can hang with the cool kids, actually sound like a Harley!
Speaking of exhaust, I'm still waiting on my stage 1 from Fuel Moto. They told me a little while back that the release of the 2012 Vance and Hines BSS was pushed back to Feb 20th. I hope it doesn't get pushed back again or I might lose my mind a little. The bags I've got already are sitting on a shelf in my garage and staring at me accusingly every time I pull into the garage.
I appreciate the offer Jim, but I think I'd rather get pipes that won't require an adapter. I guess I'm just venting a little. I've been waiting probably a month already. The sissy bar bag is doing great work for me in the meantime but it's a touch unsightly. I'm also getting tired of hearing the stock pipes. They were Ok at first but I've had a couple of cars and a semi try to merge into me lately and I wouldn't mind making a little more noise out there. I've been toying with the idea of getting a paying membership on this site. Just one question first. Is it worth it?
