Default My first touring bike - 2012 BBP FLHX

Last month I traded in my 2010 FXDC on a new 2012 BBP SG. I fell in love with the color and the bike when I test rode one a few months back. Once I found out 2012 was the only year for the BBP on the SG I wanted to get one before they were gone.

So far I have added a reduced reach seat, quick detach sissy bar and luggage rack, Stage 1, and V&H Power Duals with Monster Ovals and a few other items. Next weekend I am installing the comfort saddle bag guards and Custom Dynamics Plasma Rods and LED brake lights. The list of more additions is growing by the day. I already have 6 or 7 coats of Zaino polish on it and that blue just pops! Here are a few pictures:

I was up in the air on the BBP and Ember Red Sunglow. I opted for the ERS. That blue is on fire in the sunlight. Nice choice. Already got alot of mods on there. You say stage 1. Does this mean dealer download or tuner? I like the look of those heat deflectors. Do they really deflect heat on the thigh? Really nice pics.

Thanks! The dealer did a dyno tune with the SE Super Tuner. The bike actually runs cooler with the tune, power duals and monster ovals but the deflectors do deflect the heat nicely.
