Just put it on my bike less than a month ago. absolutely love it! Im still fien tuning how i ride with it but already love it. It even made riding with the woman on the back MUCH mroe pleasurable!!
Plus, nothing better than to slam it when peeps are looking or at a stop!
Congrats on the purchase. No better investment!
