Man you should have went with the 09 vs the 08 if for no other reason than to get the fat rear tire. Congrats tho.

so to answer some of the above...

Did not go with the 09 due mainly to the looks of the pipe on the left side (rear cylinder)... just could not get used to it. (fat rear tide meant little to me)

Vibration compared to the RK.. have not noticed any increase in vibration at all.

OTD price.. $19705 I believe.. basically MSRP for bike in blk pearl with security and cruise installed.

First long run today (Oyster Run here in Washington) and I already feel myself becoming accustomed to this bike.. Likely will go with a taller windshield, but short of that I am very happy I made the jump.

Of course my kids are both giving me crap for trading in the RK Custom.. they really loved that bike.
