The only treatment is to get rid of the SG and buy an import....
Go forth and buy lots of goodies, make sure you get lots of chrome, remember the saying

"Chrome may not get you home, but it will get you la*d!"

It's too late. Pick up the shovel and keep digging until you hit your bottom, which may never happen.

Kielbaso/Road Ranger,

Delivered in Oct cause that's when I get home(and i am pretty sure I am already crazy). Stuck with the '09 cause I really dug the Dark Blue Pearl and they discontinued it for '10.

So yes Texas Fat Boy, we could be related....BTW your bike has made me want to do the tour pak set-up. Greal looking ride.

YtseJam,
WARDAMNEAGLE!!!! You from AL? I live in Jacksonville. Just NE of B'ham..

Next thing is the seat. Looking for comfort for me, but moslty the better half. I have my eye on the Sundowner deep bucket. I like the mustang 2 piece, but the SD looks more comfortable for both. Any suggestions there...?

Glide'n

How do you know it needs mods if you haven't even ridden it ? I rode mine bone stock for the first 20k miles, thought about what could make it better for the first year. Did all the motor upgrades and passed on the chrome. It don't do nothing for me. My bike is usually dirty anyway. After 50k miles the only thing I would've done different is left it bone stock and ignored all these yahoo's. This place is evil. Good luck.

I've also been told that chrome makes your bike go faster due to less wind resistance...
