I love it quiet, and clean looking. Harley makes such a good bike, why yall always messing it up? I dont have an overheating problem, I get mid 40s mpg. I dont need it to sound like a Harley because it IS a Harley. Crazy fools.

Stage 1;
Security System;
Highway pegs;
Painted Inner fairing;
upgraded speakers and amp;
tweeters;
backrest;
Phase 7 Truck Light;
4 point docking kit;
Saddle bag liners;
better security for saddlebags;
sissy bar and rider's back rest; and
I'm about to order a King tour pak.

I said the same thing when I traded my last overloaded bike to a new in 07 UC but it didn't last too long before I put crap load money in it. Leaving it stock saves lots money and your bike will out last the one are heavily modified.
