I like it... You did a good job at designing it to still fit the bike visually while being functional for ya!

Hey on another note, my boss is headed up your way from here in Nebraska... I think he is in Whitehorse right now. Just funny that Alaska is pretty much the holy grail for bikers around here, but your big trip is down this way. When you heading down?

1. Love your paint
2. That sissy bar looks just right on your bike
3. Your doing 5000 miles on that bike!! Man, you got a much larger pair than I do. You got my respect.
