Hi Solace,
I've got 404 miles on it. The first decent SAturday with dry roads we get and I'm going to ride it back up to the dealer I bought it from so they can do the 600 miles service and check every thing out to make sure it's right. The first 100 miles REALLY sucks. It is hard to keep that engine under 3500 rpm. I had one ridee in December that was really fun. I leaned the ST over so far I almosat scared myself! These bikes (Sprints) are great machines. Enjoy it, you chose an excellent bike.

:-D :-D

I really like the idea of being able to convert the RS to a sport tourer at a moments notice. Can you post some pics of how your cowl looks after surgery? IMHBAO, a cowl is a must have when riding solo. The seat is kinda long looking without it.
Thanks
I actually got a lot of compliments when I had the cowl and grab rail (which btw, is now for sale) on together... not that a grab rail has any practical use when the cowl is on... it just kind of added something to the look... The luggage rack is a bit bigger, so I had to perform a second round of surgery... I will get some pics and post them, but I just did this about 2 weeks ago, and have not finished smoothing it out or using the touchup paint, but it will probably be better that way to see the mods in the photo... gimme a couple days...
