i can understand that one of the good things about this one is its got most of the add on mods i wanted to start off with really. about the only thing it dosent have that i would like is a diffrtent set of bars. the 1200 kit will be nice but that can wait a while.

Good on ya. And "48Pan," you need to upgrade, son. Keep up with yer neighbors, get yourself a newer bike, maybe a Shovel or even move up all the way to an Evo. I'll take that old clunker off yer hands, no really. People always tell me how kind I am... ;- )

(that is a seriously nice panhead!)
