Yes but first will be a detachable windshield for the long rides, and a sissy bar for the misses.

Then I'll start looking at saddlebags and rain gear, and some power add ons.

Gabe, when you planning on the back rest for the missus? Some areas of these roads have huge humps. Hate for you to lose her off the back end.

That's funny... last week my wife and I went to go out. When she got out to the garage she saw me getting on the bike and she said "I planned on having drinks". I said, "That's fine, I have bungee cords and a cargo net in the bag. I'll hook you on to me so you don't fall over".
