I certainly do. If/when I replace the Bandit I'm sure I'll be in your neck of the woods with whatever I get.

My friend has a Cobra, and it works nicely.

I live out in the country, and dont take it to work, So im usually not close enough to my bike to make it worthwhile for me unless im on it.

But when I bought the crossbones, it was a lot more than 100$ (i got the keyless security though, and I love it)

The harley has about 75hm, 95lb/ft torque. It is what it is. Its fun. But I was on sportbikes so much, I miss the power.

I am hoping to go where the season never ends. I know Gas up in Michigan where the first snow fall hits mid August so I'd be interested in what he's going to do to that E-Glide.

My KTM is done, the only thing I am waiting for are tech grips snake skins for the tank--not a really a winter mod.

My HD on the other hand is going to get a couple of things. I have a 95" kit done by a reputable builder in PA. It puts down 110 HP and 119 lb/ft of torque. I may have him do the stroker bottom end which the rest of my build can handle. I may also do a 55mm TB when if I do that. I also need new wheels and tires. I am going to do a deuce solid rear and a 21" spoke in the front. I bought the wheels in June for a great price and didn't feel like doing that over the summer (lazy mostly). Or I may say screw it, sell it and by and FLHX. Just a thought.
