The course was probably the smartest thing I did when getting my bike. I ended up getting a 2006 Blue M50. From the time I got it about 5 weeks ago I have put 1300 miles on it. I have also put on some extra fog lights, memphis shades hell cat windshield (thanks digi), ISO grips, Johns forward control kit, Stebel Nautilus airhorn, Saddleman profiler seat, OEM rear luggage rack, Tourmaster Slant saddlebags (pieces of crap IMHO) side mount license plate, UV LED strips from Oznium underneath it, and then red LED strip in the rear fender tied to my brake, so when I engage the brake it lights up. I also ran extra turn signal LEDS to the middle of the bike.
Also dremeled off the rear license plate and turn signals and replaced them with flush mount turn signals next to the brake light. I love the bike. I had an Axio Tail bag, but it did not go along with the saddleman so a buddy of mine has it on his sport bike now. My next steps are to start some performance mods on the bike. I am starting to get more comfortable on the bike, which lets me know that I need to use even more caution then when I first started riding. According to statistics, the most dangerous rider is from 2-24 months because they feel they are proficient on the bike.
But all in all, I have been loving the hell out of it. Thanks to everyone by the way that has been helping me get everthing figured out and running right. If anyone has any performance stuff they are trying to sell, let me know!
