+1 on the detachable sissy bar.

Nice looking bike.

While the temptation to do a upgrade on the motor is there I've left mine alone so far and been very happy with it.

06 is an 88" right? Or is it 96"?

88" stock with more air goin in and out is plenty of getup for most people. 96"? Shiiiit. Anyone who had a pan, shovel, or even an evo thought of high 90"s as a MONSTER!

Nice scoot! Sissy bar...floor board extenders...change the fork oil...a set of E3's and you'll have a new scoot again...

Have fun!

Looks like that back "bar" rear fender support thing was cut for a cleaner look and a really short antennae was added.

Congrats!

Congrats on the new scooter.. you will love it. +1 on the detachable passenger back rest, don't forget drivers backrest and sundowner seat. Go detachable and later find a tour pak for it, slide that on for long trips. Enjoy the new ride!! Look at other bikes, search the forum, and then do your bike how you want. Its all about you!!

I would be careful about adding the streetglide floorboards. My wife doesn't like them, her foot tends to slide around on it.

Back rest and different seat is a must for 2 up any longer than a 30 min ride. She'll have the sensation of falling off with the stock seat.

Great taste (see avatar, same ride).

Like mentioned the rear bar was cut, I'd like to do that myself. For me a 21 up front sets off a SG.
