man ... i only take it out on the weekends for now... but man love the wood.... love the leather.... and though initially feels slow and heavy but can move if you need it too....


did u guys feel this way: like it's so nice that i am hesitating touching it ... in terms of modifying it... b/c i would love to do coils or air, kit, rims etc... but it's just so nice..

please tell me with modding it's even nicer..convince me...

thanks for the comments... hopefully mods will come so can post more...

If you are picky about not deterioriating the comfort, quiet, and overall on-the-road feel, you must be VERY selective about the components you choose in modding.
