I won't have my bike until next week, you already have me thinking of ordering a tail kit and a hugger. I emailed Spencer for a price on the AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST. I'm looking at PC3r's. Hmmm, the BMC looks like a quality filter. I wonder if I can wedge a turbo in under the cowl.WTF !!! I don't even have the bike, less than a quality helmet and riding gear ! How the hell am I going to put 2,000 miles on this bike to break it in for winter BOMBing in only 3 months ? How am I going to send my two girls to college ?

Just kidding. This site is full of great info and I wanted to say thanks !

Bigsaint!
It is a very addictive and downhill path to chose!! Once you pop it is hard to stop! I'm down a Full Hindle system with Ti end can, PC111R, BMC Race filters, Goodridge Kevlar brake lines, HH pads, Dot 5 brake fluid,Crankcase mod, Kleen air removed, Colour matched Ermax rear hugger, Colour matched Bagster luggage, Double bubble tinted screen, 16T front sprocket and various other little mods.
And I'm only a beginner in the mod stakes!! However, it has been worth EVERY penny!! Not that I've counted the cost! (too scary)
When I twist that throttle (Respectfully)!! The smile of satisfaction on my face says it all! You know it makes sense!
Regards

Farm Boy,
You are more than welcome, if you need any pics of things, bits and bobs etc, there are lots of us with Digi cams and I'm sure that all the guys and gals will be more than happy to post you some pics.
Bigsaint,
If you thought a VN800 was quick, take real care with the 12! Take your time and learn how to ride it. (Not egg sucking time but, this bike needs a HUGE amount if RESPECT for the throttle). Many have yanked it too hard and have counted the cost! Once you have mastered throttle control. To quote a friend of mine "it really is the most fun you can have with your trousers on!" LOLOL
Regards
Ted
