[QUOTE="vandy, post: 1380466, member: 13462"] I just went from a 04 with 90k miles and so many mods and ad ons that it is hard to count but so dependable that it still has original clutch and never needed a valve adjustment.. The 17 model was broke in for me with 1400 miles on the clock and I put another 1300 in the next 2 days.. Many of the differences popped up instantly. The cruse control and heated grips were very much appreciated in 51 to 55 degrees with constant drizzle for about 600 of those miles, The stock windshield and fairing do a much better job of handling the wind than the 04 without too much noise but I still might get another after market shield for the winter. The seat is also better than the 03 stock seat with nonslip surface [but I have to really try to put both feet flat on the ground], with that being said I'm still going to get a Sargent or Corbin seat. The handlebars need to be pulled back do to my short reach. 5' 10" seams shorter on this bike. [/QUOTE]
