Yep a 'must mod'. But for $1200-1500, you can do a lot of cheap mods to look like a game changer.

Jason Ward's FCS fan cooling system. www.wardspartswerks.com
it's the best thing for a v-twin since the single pin crankshaft! Controls the heat quietly and efficiently, no more need for the crotch cooler! (sorry Cap'n Itch!)

LOL Splitting the finances and time between 3 bikes and an old project bike is what's taking me so long. It's like having 4 girlfriends.....can get expensive and managing time can be difficult. lol And unlike 4 girlfriends, you can't ride 4 bikes at the same time (assuming the gf's agree to it). LOL

My most recent favorite are the Arlen Ness 3'' forward control extensions they were easy to install and way more comfortable.
