@Mother.
With all that experience behind you, I expect that you'll do well at maneging what ever comes your way.
One thing that worked for me that didnt include fans or coolers was a decent stage 1 that was completed before I put a thousand miles on it and immediately switched to AMSoil in all thre holes. So I can honestly say that heat is not an issue for me.
Yeah it gets a bit hot in bumper to bumper traffic in the city. But it is mostly barable

Yeah, I think I'm going to go this weekend and take the Lo for a test ride and see how everything feels to me.

I do think the green looks great on the Slim... reminds me of how I set up my Warrior a couple years ago...

I had a different job then and a much shorter commute without traffic, so I never really had to find out.

When I rode other places it wasn't rush hour and I was headed away from the city, so no, not much traffic.

Anyway, let's move on... We've mucked up Wachuko's thread enough and he already answered my original question.

not mucked up, it helps to have the correct info to get you the best answer.. hey, if you don't have high traffic areas, lucky you.. i live near a beach resort and it gets backed up for miles in the summer when they're coming down and leaving

Very cool! I had a Roadstar (Midnight Star) as well... not a Warrior... I made so many changes to it... it now belongs to my cousin. Here is a photo of it.

I have everything ready to go with the Power Vision... waiting to do the first service before I install it. I had the unit, just had to buy the license for the new bike. Good to read that this made a difference for you, cool!
