I'm no expert but, after choosing the design/brand and installing. You'll have to rejet the engine. That really should be done by a professional shop.

Dan - Cryinggame has a good point. Get the bike and ride it a while, get to know it, look around and take your time with the mods. I'm willing to bet that someone on the clinic has the mod or part that you may be interested in and can & will give advice. Determine a direction you want to go and then gradually work on it. Otherwise your bike could turn into a real hodge-podge. My father in law is living testament to that. He isn't sure if he wants a custom chopper look, bagger look or a cruiser look. Anyways, you've made a good choice of a bike for sure. the other advice I would give if you've haven't purchased yet would be to look into used bikes. There are LOTS of used bikes out there where people have bought them, put maybe 200 miles a year on them and thats it for half the price. There's lots of threads on this also. Use the "Search Forum" box in the upper right corner of this page to help find them. Don't want to overwhelm you as there's SO much to read on the clinic.
btw - I'm originally from Rutherfordton just west of you.
and of course Welcome tot he clinic!!!
I wish I had a nickel for every hour I've spent on craigslist.com many late nights spent there looking at used bikes, however I have never owned any vehicle with zero miles.....ever. At the moment I am fortunate enough to have discplined myself enough to save enough money to purchase a brand new bike and make it mine the day I walk out of the dealership, no payments no hassling phone calls, nothing. I have saved for about 2 years for this moment, however I am giving my choice the benifet of the doubt and still going to look at more bikes over the next few weeks.
-DAN
Yeah, but you could use the saved money for accessories, plus used bikes may already have some that you're looking for tossed in already.
Granted an 08 is nice because its fuel injected. No rejetting. No PITA starts in the winter. The R* is my first bike too. Was going to get a V*1100, but glad I got the R* instead. I went to a MSF school and still was afraid to ride the roadie. Think I road around the industrial area where I bought the bike for like an hour before I felt confident to take it home. It took me a month or so more to get comfortable with it enough to take it on the interstate.

Hi Big Dan
I'm a Carolina Boy myself. Purchased a 2005 R about 2 months ago. I'm 53 and haven't owned a road bike in maybe 25 yrs. Looked at a lot of bikes before I purchased mine and I admit I loved the look of the Roadie but was afraid of a bike this size. After about 2 months of riding this Baby I couldn't be happier. Great handling bike and doesn't feel so large anymore. Got to respect this beast but don't let the size bother you. Just take your time, don't push it and watch out for the other Drivers on the Road. Think ahead. I believe you will love the RS |
