welcome to the club man. Silver is bestHere's my silver '09!
Well saidShe's all waxed up and ready for spring!
it's never too cold to ride, just too cold to enjoy it.
Thanks! I picked it up from Cruiser Customizing. I think with the Mounting Hardware, fairing, lower wind deflectors, shield, and trim it came out to about 560-580. Cant remember exactly. The plus side is that I got a $130 Gift card for buying it as a "package" during my checkout, it told me to enter "Diamond" in the promo code. Right after I paid I got an email for the Giftcard code, which worked! I bought some other stuff for my trip this summer with it. So honestly, it was a pretty decent deal. Most places are all about the same price unless you can find a used one. The 130$ Giftcard was a bonus. I really like it, although I did end up buying a 9 inch shield for it. The 5 inch shield was hitting me right in the forehead, I'm only about 5'10. I haven't had a chance to try out the new shield yet.Man. That's sweet. What all did the hardware cost you for that wing?

Thinking in terms of body types and sizes, what's your inseam? My dad is shorter than I am, but has a longer torso. With the height of 5 10 (70") minus your inseam, you'd get your torso length. To me that would be more important, seeing that my little fly shield makes the wind buffet my face (and I am 6' even, with a 34" inseam, making my torso length 38" from seat).Thanks!

My inseam is about a 33". The 9 inch screen works perfectly for me! Super clean pocket of air on my face and not head bobbles. It's incredibly comfortable! Took a ride tonight temps in the high 60s, all I had on was a leather perforated vest and a short sleeve tshirt up top. It was very comfortable. I'm looking right over the top of the screen where I should be. I'm very happy with this setup, and ready for my 400 mile trip to TN!Thinking in terms of body types and sizes, what's your inseam?

All in all, that is a pretty ride you have. I'll have to hit up that site and see if I can grab a setup for mine. although I would go silver / black to kinda match the bike. Btw, are they paintable?
