The voltage regulator and dry rot on the front tire are the only (2) points of concern from my... Other than that enjoy the ride and adjust accordingly...

Thanks in advance...
Yes there is! The black ones have 50HP more than the other colors and we don't like to embarrass our fellow riders. Soooo, if yah pull up to a lite with a red, blue, silver SG, be gentle on them + don't hurt their feelins. CONGRATS beautiful bike!

Just picked mine up about a month ago...I am having a blast with it! I am a tall rider, so I added Jaybrake forward controls...other than that, just VH duals and a Polk speaker upgrade with a Rockford Fosgate amp.

Welcome, and congrats on the SG! I bought mine in Sept 2011; it has about 6,000 miles on it to date, and runs like a champ.
