Thx

Emar,

Thanks looking forward to getting everything bolted on and put some rubber on the Alaska Highway before snow flys.

Love this bike

monday to thursday. I took a 1300 mile ride from nj, ny, ct, ma, nh, ma and back to NJ. The bike runs great. The Big Sucker, Fatcat, PV setup is rockin. I think I either need a new seat or redo the stock. Any opinions. The 2012 bars are not that bad and I'm only 5' 6". only down side is some sunburn on the nose.
lol

Nope, we just get hurricanes and idiot tourist drivers instead.

I'm dumb. It doesn't leave any residue. I took it off and it is now the cleanest spot on the bike.

Whew...huge pic...sorry!

I just bid on/got one...My only concern is it fitting the bolt pattern of the 2012

By the time I read your post, I only had 3 hours left in the auction at the link you posted, so I could not wait for the poster to respond to any questions...At that price though, I will make it fit...

Have you mounted it yet, and if so, tell us what you think of it...

My first mod...

I LOVE music and have always wished that I could have the ability to listen to it, without having to add a bunch of expensive equipment... I have seen some folks add radios/speakers to their Lo's...Since I am not all that fond of the speakers/radio look, or especially the cost, I added a few things and now have AWESOME music while I ride...

I put a power port on, put a USB charger in it, and use my Samsung Infuse smartphone ( or iPod ) to listen to my favorite tunes...Using a $10 pair of Phillips Ear buds to listen to it...

Added a "micca cable" so my wife can also listen using the same setup...

My initial reaction to the idea when I first thought of it was safety related, thinking I could not hear "the road" with the ear buds in...Not so...I turn up just loud enough to hear the music good, but not so loud it drowns out "the road"...

Anyone interested in the setup let me know here and I will post some pics of it...Less than $50 to do it, or less than $100 if you add a headphone amp like I did...
