Hey Annie..... I have over 30,000 on my bike. I am 6' with a 32" inseam, 250lbs

I have done an IronButt ride (1040 miles in 18 hours), and several 800+ mile days. On 2 of the 800 mile days I rode 400 the next day (1200 in 2 days, twice

)

I have John's forward controls (Custom Lowering bones and forward controls for Volusias and New Boulevard C50), Lonnie's backrest (Home), a Mustang seat, Harley Duece 6" risers, and a Cobra Crashbar with Kuryaykn offset peg mounts (Longhorns??). I can ride this bike all day long...... Then still get back on it the next day. Anything beyond 3 gear and my feet are up on the crashbar pegs. My point is.... That for less than $700 total you can make some major improvements to the bike.
