Just curious to see what people are doing to these bikes. I wasn't too fond of the R's at first untill I seen one at the dealership. Man, they look loads better in person! Mid controls still are not my thang as I like fwd controls of the A's and B's better, but I would like to see what you guys/gals are doing to your rides! Do they make Fwd controls for the R's?
How does the Hollywood CLOSE seat workout for you? I just installed a lowering kit and im still about 1" or so shy from flat foot. im only 5'7" with a 30" inseam. My mechanic said i should get shorter tubes to get the full drop of the lowering kit. But if the seat can get me a little lower then i should be fine.
It is a 19 time trophy winner, but not a garage queen. It has taken me round trip from St. Louis to Sturgis three of the last four years. Many mods done.

I'll post pic when done.
came like that - memphis shades 7" curved - so it directs the air up a bit more than the normal 7" - acts like a 9" or so
i have the fairing sitting pretty low, wind hits me about at my bottom of my helmet visor level
if i raise up the fairing i can make it hit me top of my helmet visor almost missing me completely - but if i do that i need to adjust the headlight up to match or it looks funny -
i perfer the fairing sitting lower for looks but as i get older comfort > looks so i may end up moving it
Did a few mods to my 06 "R". Here's a shot right after I did the muscle front wheel swap. Then when I tore it down for the steering bearings. Finally once the body kit and air ride was complete.
