Sat on one yesterday! Dang dang nice! She's a high one. I liked it. Wife says it didn't look my part though, 53 with a hundred pound beer gut.

I want the silver/black two tone. I really do not want them to get one in at my dealer.

Fuel tank is perfect. I don't use ethanol fuel though. From what I have read the ethanol fuel is the culprit of the swelling issue.

UP above, TheHHMF added the D & D Bobcat to his Roadster. I haven't done anything to mine yet. Still trying to find one I like and that won't affect cornering. I already scraped the pegs a bit yesterday. I stopped by the Biltwell shop and they had some cool pegs that I liked.

I sat on one of these this evening, trying out different handlebar styles for the Sportster I'm picking up. The riding position was about perfect for me, although I also liked the 72 I sat on.

Sat on one this weekend at my dealership. I loved it but I couldn't flat foot it. Legs are too damn short.

How do you like the Stage 4? My only reservation is my hatred for Heavy Breathers.

Also a note to anyone looking at buying one, it appears that all the initial units being shipped (in the US at least) are without ABS and security. I'm in favor of this move; though I highly recommend adding security and deleting the old *** ignition switch.
