Hey Guys
New Poster and new owner of a 2008 Candy Red Meanie. Traded my M50 for it. Haven't even got it broke in yet. Suks doing under 3K rpm on the freeway. Feal like I'm ridding a ten speed. Can't wait to unleash the beast!

Just got mine this past weekend 2003 Meanstreak 1500 in metallic midnight purple.
I've had to get used to the higher Center of gravity and the overall heavier feel but now I'm scraping pegs again

Got it from my local dealer for a good deal and comes w/ the pipes, cobra fi2000 and k&n.
Also had the backrest.

The power is great two up. I've been just going through and shaking things out since it wasn't really at the Dealer for long. (it wasn't even entered in the computer).

What rpms do you all normally cruise at on highways? I find myself fairly comfortable at 3-4k and it felt smooooth.

Well I have been talking about the new (to me) bike I bought on eBay a few weeks ago, well it arrived today at 3PM. I am now the very proud owner of a Black 05 Mean Streak. It already has Vance&Hines Big Shots, Kuryakyn grips, pegs, and highway pegs. A Mustang seat and mini sissy bar. I have only put about 80 miles, but am already loving it. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

here are the pics.

looks great....I'm sure you'll eventually find your way to the riderforums or meanriders forums because these threads aren't very active

yeah I'll probably have to drift that way for some Mean Streak info, but for everything else in life there is M-J. lol

Exactly. Hey got a question. Do you still have the stock seat on yours, and if so does it seem to push you forward onto the tank? My Mustang seat pushes me a little further forward than I'd like.
