Had to change cables, 1" longer than stock. Bike was already lowered 2" when I bought it used, guy was less than 5' tall. I had to install the air ride just to carry my 200 lb a$$ around without bottoming out. Bike does handle like a crotch rocket

Kiss my a$$! I can either ride a bike that few have or a bike that everyone has. Hum...I think I'll stand out in the crowd, thanks!

To think I almost bought a sporty just sends chills down my spine. I doubt I would be riding 10,000 plus miles a year.

Draft1,

I noticed you have the Ultra looking RG. I hope to get one eventually and when I do I want the tourpac/rear speakers/lowers and intercom/CB system. Got a coule questions for ya:

1)I looked up the MOCO's tourpac for the RG, don't like it, where did you get yours? Is it an Ultra tourpac and what mods did you have to make to get it on?

2)Where and who did you get the rear speakers for you RG?

3)doesn't look like there is much clearance between the fairing and the lowers any problems with that and any adjustments/modifications to make that happen?

4)do you have the intercom/CB hookup on yours? If so how much trouble was that to add?
