I have one of the first 06 bikes and have 32,000 miles on it. Its the best and the fastest street cruiser I have ever owned. I'm new to bikes, I have only been riding for 50 years. Most home boys on Harley's won't even think of a run off once they find out what I'm riding. The only complaint I have is in 90 degree days at traffic lights you will roast your right testicle. I'm going to try to make some sort of heat shield. One great bike.

Willie, lemme tell you about roasting nuts! I was stuck on I-95 for 6 hours during summer, while going from VA to NY to see my family. Man, I turned that thing off every 10-15 minutes because the heat was getting downright nutty

I run my bikes on full-synthetics (which means they run MUCH cooler then on regular oils due to highly decreased friction). However, even then my a$$ was sweating like a fat kid during a walk-a-thon.

I tell you hwhat...I'm getting another dog gone under-the-fuel tank heatshield, cuttin' it up and installin' that summab1tch right over that oil-tank and under the seat!
