Not a fan of the fairing/windshield and the pipes, but otherwise BADASS!!!

Though, I'm not a fan of any fairings, and I prefer a more traditional pipe setup...

I don't think I could feel my hands after a ride like that. I use to drive from FT. Huachuca, AZ to PA. I can't imagine doing it on my sporty. This thing rides different with the fairing on it. Strange with the wind blocked. I never had anything on the front of a bike before.

I agree, those do look good. Was only pricing them up in Merlot this last weekend. They are darned expensive....

I found the bags for $20.00 on Ebay. I jumped on them for that price.
