    Awesome colour combination. I'm not a lover of flames but it looks nice.

    I have bags on my 700. You'll have to get the smallest ones you can find unless you relocate the rear signals. Even then, you'll have problems because of the upswept exhaust.
    Before you do too much customizing, remember that you have 30 years of maintenance to catch up on.

    I love it. Looking at your new ride makes me believe I made the right decision in going with a black on black theme for my bike.

    Oh yea! I'm working on the maintenance part right now. Thank you for information. I was also looking at some different types of bags for the sissy bar.

    You'll love the 700, its a great bike.

    Definitely. I'm throwing a couple ideas around in my head. I'll probably do something next winter after my riding season is done.
