This is my second bike, and I've only been riding a year. Everyone says "too much bike" but I say I have a brain, a helmet, and some sense, so I'm HAPPY to be here! If anyone can tell me what mods have been done...um..yeah... and what panniers or saddle bags would work best? And how to get the brake pedal farther out from the center of the bike? And a thousand other things... but the test ride.. OMG I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!

Looks like:
Carpenter Sidewinder Exhaust

Triumph Highway Pegs
Passenger Boards
Sisi bar
Sport screen
Some aftermarket seat
Tank pad
K&N 4040 filters with outerwear covers
Cut Bearclaw


I'm sure others will pick up a few I missed.

Welcome. Be patient with the bear. Cuddle the teddy before awakening the Grizzly.

Q: What do you want from the side cases? - i.e. Waterproof? Capacity? Looks?, HARD/SOFT? - Fixed/removable? - Are you able to fabricate or do you need them "plug and play"?

Basically what I've been told. The service manager where I bought it warned me, in front of his GM, "It's a LOT of bike, are you SURE?" then went on to tell me of the extremely responsive throttle, extreme torque etc. But a 4 mile test ride at street speeds and I was HOOKED. It's so well balanced it feels 300 lbs lighter than my Vulcan, and I LOVE my Vulcan.

But yeah, I know I've got a real BEAST and I have to remember that every second on it. I call it a '******less rocket' cause it's a ****** rocket without the ****** pain!

Room for rain gear and maybe a few waters, water resistant, 1500ci each? 12L. Liked soft on my Vulcan but think hard would fit the look of this bike better. Fixed is fine, removable is NICE, and most def plug & play!

WELCOME!!! ...and SA-WEET! Thanks for including the photos... Note, she is a torque monster and demands A LOT of respect but will treat you VERY WELL! She's fairly nimble when moving, but if there is ever a bike that you want to make sure the handlebars are square when you stop... this is the one. Have FUN!
