Updated photo, enjoying the windy but relatively cool weather around the desert this past week. Put on a thousand miles doing day rides, and gained about 6 lbs  ;D

Bike looks great Cultus! I'm planning on making my TP removable this year. Haven't decided about the amp part yet, hate to lose all the space in the bags.

Lose the stock amp.  Put one in the fairing.  :)

Thanks TinSpinner, you won't regret the work and the result! Agree with cvostu, the stock amp us a throw away so I had an upgraded amp and speakers installed in the fairing along with a hidden antenna. Cleaned up and made all the wiring connections with deutsch connectors that fit nicely under either seat, and simply removed the radio head set cable that is routed to the side of the king tour pak. The solo seat is from Mustang and is actually very comfortable for being pretty shallow. In the end I changed the stereo, wheels & rotors, front and rear suspension, bars (chubby mini apes) windshield, headlights (led from trucklite, awesome at night), mirrors, horn cover (from the PM booth at Laughlin last year), exhaust, air breather, all covers (flame theme), license plate set up (street glide style below turn signals), and added quick detach kit and magnetic covers for the lowers, digital dip stick, smoked heat shields, and....

The riding always wins for me but darn, the food was a very close second! For those of you in the area try the Red Kettle in Idyllwild, CA for breakfast (I had the mountain muffin with homemade sausage pattie, wow) and Ty's Burger House in Oceanside, CA for lunch (the western burger and fries were both killer).

Cheers!

I have an arc 125.4 4 channel amp sitting on top of the radio.  Works great lots of power. Get some good speakers and you'll be good to go. I have the Focal 165krc. Then you will still have your bags and no messing around with an amp in the way. Easy to do a tp with removal  hardware. After that, you can upgrade lighting etc.   Good luck.

If I could only have one modification on my bike, it would have been the W.O. 577's !
When I first sat on my bike at the dealership, I knew the stock bars would have to go.
There worth every cent (and it was a lot of cents) that I paid for them.

Wow thought that hunk of meat was a burger patty! Your SEUC looks great without the tour pack.

Thanks 1SRK, she's definitely more squirley at high speeds than my 08 Road Glide but she is a beauty (but running a little slower has its advantages too, let's you see things like great little eateries  ;) )
