Strip it back to stock, knock the right rear signal off & glue it back together a few times, dent & scrape the tank a little, ( all that stuff was the kid) Put a small knee dent in the left side of the tank, where I caught it as it rolled off the stand in a way to tilted drive & scrape the bottom half off the pegs, & thats MINE!

Is that the Kurayaken bag others have talked about. That built in backrest looks cozy for cruising around. Nice work.

Oh it has it's battle scars. I've replaced 2 of the turn signals, one of the foot pegs, and there's a nice little beauty mark on the right side of the tank ... took us a while to get to know each other. Wink

Yes, that's the Kuryakyn Tombstone bag. It is sooo comfortable while riding. To get it to fit I had to take off the passenger back pad. It actually packs pretty well too. One of my better investments for the bike.

Yep, I told ya. ha ha I laughed when I took it out of the box. Don't know what they were thinking with that accessory? Well, I guess it does guard the engine, ya just expect a little more than just that. Oh well.

The muffler is the screamin' eagle type that I found on ebay for $39.99. Search on "S40, Screamin' Eagle". It's a nice pipe with a deep sound and pretty easy to install. I'm sure there are much better pipes out there, but I'm cheap and it works just fine. Cool

But I thought it was bigger than that, hah. And I just picked up a Dyna muffler from a member here for $15 shipped! Hard to beat that price. Hopefully it'll sound ok. I need to get the jetset and performance filter while I'm doing that.

I was riding with our local chapter of the Southern Cruisers and we went on a ride up to Mt. Alto & Mason and then back to Huntington. I'll PM ya a few days before we are headed up that way again and maybe you can hook up with us for a while.
