Come on over this summer you can ride the shop bike, you don't even have to shift it now, or clutch it.

No shifting? Takes half the fun outta it, but willing to try it out.

Shark noses may not be popular for their looks, but it sure is smooth behind that fairing. They do look like they hang out in front more than most other frame mount fairings, look more like an add on than the old Vetter fairings did. I think they handle better in strong winds than fork/bar mounted, too. Looks, comfort, handling - improving one often takes away from the others.

Sorry the only shark nose we got has the automatic in it right now. It's still kinda fun.

Took our 2011 down to Daytona a couple years back, it still had the stock pipes and our DD7 in it. That thing was so smooth it didn't even feel like a Harley any more. I had to watch the tach to know when to shift. Can't hear it, can feel it and can easily get a ticket with it. I was heading through Tennessee at one point after a storm trying to dry off look down and I'm doing 90.
