Leo or Staintunes. I'd say Laser if not for the fitment issues and customer support issues one or two of us have had.

I DO live in Kokomo bro. :) We need to get together sometime.

Congrats on the new bike. Might I ask what the 50th Anniversary Edition is? In 2007, Honda released the 25th Anniversary RWB bike so I'm kinda...
