LOL....LMFAO...

Dude you guys rock! That's very true. I'm keeping this bad boy. Period. Who wears the pants around here anyhow?---I do.
We're looking for a comfortable used cruiser--which I HATE---but she loves those things. All they do is make a lot of noise and don't get out fo their own way while they handle like cows. I'll use that for "our bike". I can pick one up with bags for under 6k if I look around.

Russ, have you used those luggage mounts? I am really interested in some luggage mounting options like the one you listed from twisted throttle, but it specifically says "will not fit on 2008". It looks like it could mount up, but I will have to go take a look under my seat tomorrow. Anyone know any other rear mounting luggage solutions for the 08?

Amen to that one.

Hey SGM, you haven't even started to have fun on the S3 yet, I'm with the rest of the guy's on this one, if you can stretch to it get another bike.

Aw shoot, I didn't read the description about it not working on the'08. No, I haven't used it but they do look like the perfect setup for when you need to take a long trip. At least I can buy it. nyaaa

If you love her, make her more comfortable, you should be happy she's even slightly interested in motorcycling at all!

I have a '06 Sprint ST and will be getting a top box soon, and flatter seat so she doesn't slide forward as often, thats her only complaint.

Keep the girl, keep her happy, enjoy buying new toys for the S3.

OR... you could teach her how to ride and send her to a safe rider program..That should buy you enough time to pay cash so she has her own bike like a Street Triple or something fun like that!

Kory - get yourself one of these - TriboSeat - the thing really works!
Doesn't look unattractive when installed either.
You will find that will make a HUGE difference in stopping her sliding forward when you are braking - more comfortable for her AND for you!!!
