hi all, my bikers friend xl showed up today. seems like a good product. they had very good customer service. two different people called me to make sure my order was right. i am chomping at the bit for saturday. my parents are parking their vehicle outside so i will stay for mothers day. new thread next week. until then keep the rubber side down. paul.
 
Paul:

Good choice on the '09. The newer bikes have a whole lot less problems with the electrical systems and a lot (if not most) of the bugs have been worked out. I have an '08 R3T with another 6 months of warranty and so far trouble free.

If you get down to the Columbia Gorge or want to do some riding, let me know. I'm about 2.5 hours from you.
