Now all I need are the lower deflectors.  Do they make those that don't cost more than my windshield?  I like the Harley ones, but I looked at them today at the dealership and they were over $100....that's nuts.

So buy them for a dealer that does 20% off....now they are only $80

The w/s was only 79.99!

Oh, I should also add that I'm probably the CVO owner with the tightest ass (frugal).  I guess I have my mom to thank for that.  That woman could squeeze two nickles together and make a dollar.

I saw an, um, err, "entertaining woman" in the Phillipines, that could do that...but that's another story.

Is that better than going with the SERT?

I changed the head pipe and I am running Fullsac baffles and a map from Staeve on my 2009 SERG and it runs and sounds great, plus I keep the stock look.  This is much cheaper than buying all new stuff and a tune (approx $2100).

I can't decide if a new seat is warranted or not now.  I've got about 900 miles on the bike (500 the past two days) and my butt gets sore.  Now compared to my last bike ('07 V-Star 1100) the seat is worlds improved.  I'm not sure how much a new seat will be able to improve over this one.  Maybe I'm just a wimp, but after about 200 miles I'm wanting to stop every 60 or so.  My wife is happy with the passenger pad.  It is much nicer than the V-Star in that regard.  I don't get the numb feeling like my old bike gave me, but my tailbone starts to get sore.  Looking at the Mustang solo w/ backrest and the 8.5" or 11" pillion for the wife.  The solo with 8.5" pillion looks basically like the stock and I don't want to drop 600+ to find out that it's basically the same as my stocker which looks fantastic I might add.

I don't think I'm having the heat issue that some are claiming with the 110.  It was about 80 here when I got off work and I decided to work on some low speed maneuvering in my neighborhood and an empty parking lot.  I probably did figure 8s, u-turns, hard rights and lefts for an hour and while the bike got warm it didn't seem like it was overly hot for what I was putting it through. 

Another think I learned is that this bike handles amazing at low speeds.  My V-Star weighed less and didn't do as well as this big momma at the slow stuff.  I'm really impressed doing easy U-turns in our neighborhood with it's pretty average 2 lane roads.  I even had to put a foot down one time and I popped the bike back up and finished the turn without much effort.  I love this bike!

Just took the rear reflector off.  Pretty easy to do.  I guess you have to cut it?  I cut it, but I was running out of light and tired of dinking with it.

Is it just me or does the paint swirl very easy when it gets touched when it is dusty?
