Just realized my new bike hasn't had a photoshoot yet. Pretty much the same as my dearly departed 06. Decided not to go black with the headers and exhaust this time. Some say the rack looks silly, but I think it looks pretty good! Got a Thrux gel seat and some superbars. I like the superbars, but they are really wide. I think some M's are in my future.
I messed with the photos cause they were really dark. The backgrounds are really blown out, but who cares!

The rack doesn't look too bad, usefull for sure. Are those Ikon's???? I am pondering shock options and seeking any input. Do you like them? Whats your riding style like???

Those Thrux seats just look good, not a fan of the stock bench but as with everything it is all a matter of personal taste.

I had Superbars and they didn't really work for me, what I ended up with was a bar very similar to the M's and I am a huge fan. Road 11 hours hard last Sunday and was cozy all day.

Mmmmm, nice and black. The rack looks good and is vital for those who need to lug stuff; I'd take a rack over bags! M bars - yeah, that'll do it. Are you getting the black bars?

I definitley have some work to do on the suspension. Those are the aluminium Ikon's on back, and I have the progressive brand springs up front. Both are really stiff. I weigh around 190lbs.
I have to adjust the preload on the back springs, just haven't got to it yet. I also need to play around with the spacer length and fork oil level in the front. I do most of my riding on mountain roads and in the foothills, but I am no racer. Still really learning to ride.
