Thanks Kaz,
I am suckng up all the information on this forum, I decided to purchase this bike for my wifes comfort, I also ride a 98 Springer and and 04-VRSCA.
Up to know, I kinda dismissed touring bikes, but the creature comforts of this ride are as addicting as the power on the Vrod, I am looking forward to completing break-in soon, I am anxious to feel the full (stock) potential of the rig. Since my Saturday pickup day, I have logged about 220 miles (really crappy weather Sunday & Monday), I am off from work until the 26th and the forcasts are looking better after Thursday/Friday.
I say Stock, because like others have mentioned, the Secretary of the Treasurey (me wife) has deemed that the funds alloted for this bike will -not- include noisey pipes, or even one extra chrome do-dad, the bike is beautiful as is, she has impressive power, compared to the Ol'Springer. The bike is primarily for her enjoyment, I have the Vrod (Wiesco-1320-Kit) to play with if ya know what I mean!
Maries first ride on it as a joy, she gets chilly this time of year which means either no rides or very short ones, when I flicked her seat heat on, she was a happy camper on the cool ride home.
