04Ultra,

Chrome one, now your talkin, where did you find that one? More chrome would make up for the loss in low end torque!

Ok... in spite of the fact that I, too, am going to get torn apart for admitting it, I have a cup holder on my bagger. Got it in Sturgis at some little shop that sold all sorts of crap not entirely bike-related.

Fits well behind the bat-wing, can't see the useless air temp gauge though (no loss), but it is also a victim of the Venturi (bournoulli? I always get those 2 messed up) effect in that if I have a straw in my drink, it sprays a fine mist even behind the fairing. I'll take it off when I replace the air temp with the compass. But it is good for non-strawed drinks...

And I wired my A/C switch to the extra one beside the SPOT switch, so I may have to remove that too when I install the compass...

Plus, with the chrome one, if you position it just right, you can see your reflection while riding to see how cool you look at any given moment. Granted, it is a fish eye view with the round cup holder, but hey, it beats nothing.

The first thing I got was the biggest coffee mug I could find. Stylish, isn't it.
