As for riding the long distance I put airhawk seat cushion on it for a 700 mile trip up highway 1 ( feels nice but cornering feels weird with it on )

Also took off the fender and got some custom satin paint ala rattlecan, Thinking it needs some sliders before it goes on the track ? Anyone look into that ?



I like the bag setup, looks good. Also like the fender off, makes the rear end look sweet.

I agree about the airhawk. I had one on an old CB750 I had back in 2000. It never gave me the comfort I really wanted especially for the cost. And when I went into curves, I felt like I was sliding around on the seat.

How does your tires look? Mine rear is getting kind of thin at 1,000 miles. I figure I might get 1500 miles out of it. I'm thinking about going to Dunlop Roadsmart tires. I know I won't get the grip I got but the miles I will pile on this bike with make the stock tires too expensive.
