I forgot to add they didn't finish the work yet so the bike is in my garage. It has a full SE stage 1. I just went out and started it. I'm hooked!

Hahahaha, what color you going to get, yes oil cooler is needed, synthetic oil is good, ABS good, yes you can build one to do a wheelie, they do get a little hot, yeah yeah, we know, its expensive.

Suggest you ride all models, had a RKC now an 09 Ultra.
