I wasn't even shopping for a new bike, but I also never turn down an offer for a test ride. After 10 miles on an 08 SD990 I returned to the dealer and said it had just one problem. Concerned he asked, "What is that?" "I couldn't get the smile off my face." I replied.
So it's in getting it's 600 mi maintenance and getting fitted for some 2CT's. Besides new rubber (Dunlops are barely good enough for tyre swings) I'm already getting the bug to do some minor mods. I'm not racing and I won't do anything to void my warranty but I do want to add some Akrapovics and a steering damper. I don't care about doing mods for looks. I just want to get it's full handling potential and a little more performance and sound. What will get me the most bang for the buck?
Also, do you guys run the suggested 34psi on the street and stock suspension settings or have you guys found something that works a little better? Some of the curves around here can be a little rough on the bike and my confidence.
