Hey Guys,

Well, I did not quite pull the trigger today and buy the Road* that I said I was interested in. I did go look at it and spent quite a bit of time discussing the relocation of floorboards, etc. with the staff there. This was actually the first time I really looked at this particular Road* in person as the other times I was there I looked at a couple of others. With the price drop of $1000.00 on this one this week it moved up on the depth chart . The way this place works is that they take all the accessories off the bikes they take in and sell them on E-Bay I guess plus you can buy them there too. If you buy a bike there and want something done to it, they give you a 20% discount on parts and labor. I'm 99.99% sure I will go back on Monday and buy the bike and will have them relocate the floorboards plus do some other stuff to it as far as adding some accessories like a winshield, saddlebags, etc. Yeah, I know I could do that stuff myself but with the labor discount and the used accessories are like 50% less cost than new, why not pay them to do it? That way when the bike is delivered it is ready to ride.

Does anyone know if you can still put engine guard bars on the bike if the floorboards have been moved forward 3"? It probably makes no difference to the answer to the question but they would be using a kit from Lightning Performance to relocate the Floorboards. I would like an engine guard bar if possible if they have a used one there that is in good shape and will fit with the new location of the floor boards, etc.

Also, has anyone put the Hardcore Quiet baffles available from SmartPartz.com in Vance and Hines Longshots? That is what is on the bike for an exhaust and it is a bit too loud for me and my neighborhood. I like louder than the stock exhaust but not too loud. I'm wondering how much the Hardcore Quiet baffles reduce the sound?

Thanks again for your input!
