I have a stock 2002, I have it for three years. I have not had a chance to ride much this past while, but made up for it this past 10 days. I left Vancouver Island BC with three other guys and went down to California, making a point of doing as many of the cool roads as possible in the process. Route 36 in Northern California was amazing, 144 miles of curves. I'm down to just a very narrow patch of chicken strip. Pirelli Diablos are great, put on a new set before leaving. After tying everything on the bike for 10 days, I now want a set of hard bags (if I can find them) I also want to increase the HP. I'm told that the simplest way of doing that is with pipes, new air cleaner and power commander, but I'm open to suggestions. I will post pictures of the trip when I have a minute and pictures of a clean bike. I also want want a radar detector, Oregon Troopers are not forgiving Smokin Joe
