Well I must say I am jealous. I traded my 03 for the very bike you have and I must say it looks nice. I am not doing the lowers this time right away, even thought they worked awesome on my 03, doing the nylon ones this time. Not only that wanted to knowwhat you thought about the Klock werks windshield. Mine just arived today, but I have no bike yet to put it on. Hope you get some good miles on it, orange all the way.

Tour pack is next, i just keep switching between which one I want. Best looking to me is chopped, king is obviously more functional for trips. Even when I chose the king, I get stuck between the ultra style and classic style. As I said, I had an ultra before but kind of have a love hate relationship with the lights on the tour pack. They are obivously better for safety but I kind of like the clean lines of the plain one. But as of now, I have chosen the chopped.

As far as the klockwerks, I like it fine. However, I am only 5'10 so on the shorter side it does a good job. Tall guys seem to hate it.

I say go RG Classic style. You don't always have to plug in the lights. I used the quick detach and it if was just around town I did not plug in the lights, but did on road trips. Big thing is passenger. Will you have one, and how often. Now you are getting into speakers and such. Not only that I would go for space in this case instead of style.

Very nice bike!! Hope you get your dream shop built. I finally got mine built two years ago and I almost live in it. It is 70 X 60 and I wish I would have gone a bit larger.

Woah!!! And I was worried about comming off snobbish with a 48 x 30 shop! That is awesome, truely awesome. Everyone says no matter how big you make it, youll want more. But with my existing shop space, I should be okay. Everything will finally be under roof and out of the weather! Even the big JD!

Your bike looks awesome. A lot of RG riders have gone with the Hoppe vents. For some reason I am having trouble posting pics. so I'll PM you some pics of the vents I found on E-Bay

09 RG,

Very nice bike all around. Are those pre- painted lowers from HD? If so, how is the color match. They look great!
