My black 04 VRSC is two weeks old. What a great machine. I'd like to say thanks for all the great info I've already learned from this site.(exhaust,windshields,wheel care,dipstick modification etc.) I'm already dreaming about customizing for more speed/power. I look forward to the months and years ahead. V-rods are scarce around rural Wisconsin so if anyone is ever in the neighborhood it would be great to get together for a ride. Thanks to all. ryno
