My new bike (I'm totally stoked) is almost ready for delivery on Saturday. I've yet to negotiate a few odds and ends to complement the bike. This also happens to be the very 1st vehicle (car or motorbike) that I will ever have purchased brand new from a dealership. All of my old bikes, cars, and trucks I've bought used. I'm pretty much paying top dollar for the bike so I figured there's some room for negotiation with regards to accessories. What would be reasonable? I was thinking a tailbag, headlamp grill, and frame pucks would be a good start. |

Yeah, service manual is a definite one. What do people think about heated handgrips? Overkill? Hands seem to be the only part of my body that gets cold from riding long distance. |

dodge the pucks and grill they offer the same level of protection as a chocolate fireguard..try to snag the hand guard set from an 9x-they are absolutely extortionately pricey to buy over the counter but allow all year round practicality..without flat batteries..also a lower seat as there is always a market for them[cash back!!!]..basically go for stuff they dont have to fit as that is less hassle for them ergo they let go of it easier..if you have half the fun i have on mine,they will need a cricket bat to knock the smile off your face,cheeaars |

GET THE FRAME PUCKS! Trust me, I've seen four or five pictures of dented/scratched frames that could have been saved with $50 pucks... |

The bike came with pucks already installed. I ended up getting a tailbag and an airbox cover bra instead. |
