Finally got around to taking a few pictures...

Getting a back-rest and saddle bags next week (I think). Dealer didn't have any in when I went to pick it up and I wasn't about to wait on 'em...

Nice! I think a black bike is very sharp. However, the OCD in me wants everything to match, but black is a very hot color when the sun is out. What brand of windshield is that? It looks a little bigger than mine. I have been looking at saddlebags, what are you getting?

how do you like your light bar (or whatever it is called)

Yes, black is a very hot color when the sun is out. I'm a glutton for punishment, I guess. After years of driving only white cars, a couple of years ago I bought a black Rodeo. Figured the bike should match

I need to get a picture of the two together. With my black cat.

Windshield and light bar are OEM. Height on the windshield is somewhat adjustable, its set just a mite above lowest setting (I'm not that tall), but it does look a bit bigger than yours. Maybe it's just the angle of the photo.

Light bar is fanf***in'tastic. Comes on with the headlight; it does have a manual switch on the backside of the bar, but I leave 'em on. All the better to see me, my dears. Having not driven this bike at night until tonight, I hadn't noticed the headlight was aimed a tad low. Make that useless low. If not for the light bar, I would have been sitting in a parking lot or on the side of the road 30 miles from home adjusting the headlight.

Saddlebags - plain leather, Part #: 990A0-77009
