Default New Standard

I just traded up from a Sporty to a EG Standard. The Sporty was fun and fast, but the EG is just plain fabulous. So, if you happen to be riding anywhere in eastern MO, especially south of St. Louis, and you see some fool riding a black EG with a big ol' grin on his face, it's probably me. Oh yeah, radios, we don't need no stinkin' radios. That's what loud pipes are for!!

I thought the same thing, till I got one.. If you don't already have one i have a zip up bag that goes in the hole where the radio goes. It is a little bit faded but works great for storing small stuff and keeping it safe. Velcros in and I will let you have it for the cost of shipping.
Enjoy your new ride, I went from a sporty to a standard and never looked back!
