Great thread! Battling the same decision, and I have to say that Jamie has been up front and honest with each bugging question I've sent him!

Rodeo, I know your pain brother! I keep thinking my list will get shorter, but I do one thing and add 2 or 3 new things to list! Guys like Fuel Moto and such love us!!!! LOL!!!

Guys like Fuel Moto are paying dearly to be sponsors here, so they definitely need our business. What I like are that we have several vendors (Wheeldock and Fuel Moto to name a few) who really seem to have gone above and beyond on this Forum to support us and their products. I think they have earned our business for sure. If it weren't for Jamie's excellent reputation here at the Forum, I too might well still be on the fence.

As for me, I probably have spent several grand over this winter on my bike and I look at it (the bike) and am hard pressed to see where it all added up. But it does!

Lets see, I've added:

Clearview Windshield (due in soon)
Kuryaken Highway Boards on the crash bar
HD Oil Cooler
All Synthetic Fluids
TWO detachable HD sissy bars (One for everyday use, one larger for holding a bag)
TWO sissy bar pads (HD) one the CVO model
HD single point detachable hardware
Park-N-Move dolly by Legal Speeding
Wheeldock EZ-UP Center Stand (great item)
HD Screamin' Eagle Touring mufflers (on order)
Fuel Moto PC-V (on order)
Fuel Moto SE Air Cleaner assy. (on order)
Mini-Beast Air Horn
HD Split Vision Mirrors
RAM Mount for my Garmin GPS
Kisan "TailBlazer" tailight modulator
Craftsman Yellow PRO Jack
HD trim rails for the Saddlebags (not cheap!)
RoadSpirit velcro Lowers (www.roadspirit.com) NICE!
Personalized License Plate
1 Pissed off wife! (if she knew)

I did this list more for me then for you because I knew I spent allot, but a glance at the bike doesn't readily show it. (most of the mods aren't even shown in this photo either.)

Congrats on the PC V and A/C you will love it! Actually made my Rush slip-ons sound a little deeper.

I've been running my '08 RK with slipons, Ness intake and IED's and never a problem. And it does get a bit warm here in traffic and at extended stops during the summer. It runs just fine. No "glowing" pipes. No detonation. No melting legs.
