What is the old saying about: never easedrop when someone is talking about you.... well on these bikes never ask what someone thinks about what you ride and never read anything either...

I liked the colors of the anny, got a great deal on the bike, colors got old, stumbled on a dealer in Texas on ebay selling a new set of black pearl tins, same time ebay had a 10% off if you make a purchase within a certian time limit, jumped on it. Total change-out cost less than 1100.00, and I have an extra set of tins. Have about the same $ in the bike as MSRP for black pearl. Happy!
