First time in the forum 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
Hi fellow Roadies! Been a biker most of my life, just got my 07 midnight silverado back in May. Wife and I have put about 5k on it so far. A few things I like most about the R* is the torque (man, I love rolling the throttle on out of a corner and feeling that torque!!), the looks of the bike, and reliability. Just get on and ride, no checking adjustments or tightening loose parts, or wondering if the bike's gonna make it back. I guess about the only thing I don't really like about the R* is the seat. I'm 6'3", 180# and that seat don't fit my butt at all. I've removed the stock seat and built a more comfortable seat of foam pads and a blanket I piked up @ the Indian (native American) village in Cherokee, NC. Like to try out some different brands of seats before I sink the money into a new one.
Stock pipes, stage 3 mod., like the looks and sound. Stock jetting.
I'll post a photo soon. Thanks for having me!!

Handy,

Open up the intake and rejet the carb... there's more power to be had, and try the Ultimate seat. I love mine! I'm 6' 180lbs and it suits me just fine.

Oh, and

Handyman. What Questcap said about the seat - do a search on the forum for Ultimate Seat...
