Paints done and it's clean. Still waiting on the Tail Trunk, using the same size at the XT. Nice being able to go to the store AND buy something with out going back to get it with the car! I do have to come to grasp with setting up the shock now and do I need to mess with the forks as most of the weight will be out back? I will limit how much I load to 20 pounds per bag and 10-15 in the trunk and tank bag together.
More hpotos...larger too! http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v87/MarkN/Buell/ |

I'm normally not a fan of white vehicles, but that is a very sharp bike. |

Just got back from the shake down ride over to Ft Wayne, about 250 miles round trip. No problems other than the fan wants to run full time! (Gee how many time has THAT been posted about, my have to do the RH air scoop) I was worried how it'd handle loaded so I stuffed 40 pounds in back for the trip home. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! No wiggles, no shakes, no wandering all over the place. I did slow down a bit and kept it under 80 but nice. Step two is coming soon with a tail trunk. I just got to make a bracket! BTW the windshield didn't even slow down the pelting of bugs I got ! YUCK I had to stop and wash my face shield about ten times! |

I would love to add that to my collection. It seems like such a perfect bike. I wish some place in Denver rented them, since I always go out there riding in the summer and rent some not so fun bike... |

Any insight into which bags they are and how you mounted them? |

Very nicely done. Couple red/blue lights and you could get folks out of your way in a big hurry! I do like the panels on the bags. Personally, I'd cover the white with silver reflective tape...but I'm just tired of people not seeing me. LOL. |

I've got 3M black reflective tape all over the bike and some on my helmet. I will be adding more of the white reflective tape soon.... I have the reflective rim stripes on the shelf. I'm just waiting until my tire are worn out then will put the black wheels on with the white stripe.
