I am just now getting to ride mine, but so far as everyone else has said, if you plan your trips out to stop for fuel you shouldn't have any real issues. For my frame (5'9" 155 lbs) this bike fits perfect. Love the bobber style and the perfect amount of chrome, not too much, just enough for my liking. Still thinking about customizing but so far not much on my list. Good luck everyone!

Nice bike man. I was going back and fourth between the red and the blue, I actually don't like red too much myself, but ended up going for the red and I love it. Bike is awesome, and I dont know if I'm tripping or what but I swear this is quicker than my 883 converted to a 1200 I had. Bike rips. I got a solo spring seat on order, new grips/pegs, solo bag and stage 1. Still trying to find a set of pipes I like.
