Oh come on now Soos, I am bored and just trying to learn... plus I'm facing another back surgery in January, and I need something to keep me going... Mods and Chrome.... What in the world is IDS? Do I need to take another loan I can't sell the scoot and start again... I've go too much into it to make if worth anything to anyone but me... I think I spent more on the suspension and the seat then most guys spend on their engine mods... BUT it kept me in the saddle logging 11,000 miles in the first year, with 6 back surgeries... worth every penny... and your products were worth every penny too.... My goal in the next year is another 10K, but I'll have to see if I can walk first... Pretty dramatic don't you think?

'08 ultra here. Ride mostly 2 up. 2 loaded 1000 mile trips and 1 loaded 2000 trip, and my tires, front and rear are still over half. Guess I'm lucky.
