Thanks all:

Performance mods are the race tuner and Vance and Hines full pipes and open air cleaner. As far as voice directions on the iway, I don't use helmet speakers but because the iway is my mp3 player too, the directions for the nav come through the bike's speakers, pause the music and then resume the music where it left off. Very cool.

The photo editing I use is in photoshop and thanks for the compliments on the picts. Photography is also one of my hobbies. Black is cool, but it is a pain in the *** to keep clean and anything will show a scratch in the clearcoat.

I can't believe you would pick that color! No seriously try a "little" Pledge on a Microfiber towel. Works wonders on the black, plastic, and windshield and leaves the paint slicker than Plexus or the Meguiar's Detailer I've been using. Use it sparingly for best results. I have a 700' gravel drive and at least its clean when it leaves the garage!

Very nice Starman,
Are those V&H True duals with V&H ovals?
I am using your bike as my desktop, at least until my Cherry Pearl Ultra arrives. I can see why black is the favorite color.My dealer advises bike leaving factory January 16 - hope it's not a Monday bike.
When did you get Black Beautie? Any problems?
I am still a bit apprehensive on these 07s after following this forum since November.
Thanks
