I appreciate everybody's enthusiasm on this forum. OMC, I have not ridden it enough to really speak about the comfort of the seat (only had the bike two days now) but I can say it seems much more comfortable then the Sundowner seat on my RKC, the back rises up pretty far and makes me wonder if I even need an after market drivers back rest. I can't believe I waited this long to buy one. Soon as I get some miles on it, I will post an opinion.

---Ride safe.

OK. For those still interested, I now have almost 800 miles on my 08 EGC. Nothing but good things to say (as much as it cost I better be happy). The engine is phenomenal, and I averaged 40mpg on the highway at 70mph (thats not broke in yet). I don't even think I will do a stage 1 unless the heat gets outta hand in the summer, the engine is that good. Some complain about a hesitation when you roll on the throttle. I do not have any hesitation, it just about rips my head off if I roll on it too hard. I did a two hour ride over the weekend and the seat was comfortable, certainly more so than my Sundowner seat I had on my 06 RKC. The bike continues to impress me with his ez handling. All in all I am very pleased with the bike so far. Keep you posted.

----Ride Safe.

Congratulations!I bought one two months ago and love mine to. They're flying off the show room floors around here, if you see one you like you had better buy it or its gone.
