Another bonus is they don't drag in the twisties. Great bike OP, Going to look real nice with chrome lowers.

That sucks, I live 1 hour from the Back of the Dragon, 1.5 hrs. from the Dragon, and 10 minutes from the snake (421). No 4-inch bags for me.

Nice bike. Being my bike is my main means of transportation I ride no matter the weather and does not stay clean long. All so mine with the HD sidecar takes 18 hours to clean well.

+1 This

After spending years chasing that mirror finish and all the work to keep em clean, I am loving my first matte black bike. Aside from some custom work, it looks as good as the day I brought her home.
