Sweet... so what did you do to it?

I put the following items on, of course on of these is going to start a fight.
- Cobra speedster shorts (with a crossover)
- xXx big air kit
- Cobra FI2000 CVT

All I can say is the sound is sweeeeeeet and performance is amazing. basically just a tad stock, could only imagine what some of these hot rodders bikes feel like on here.

Re:I LOVE MY R/S 1 Year ago  
I am sooooo glad to hear from another that has put the Fi2000 CVT on their Roadie!! I just put mine on and O M G!! The shift points are about 12 to 15 mph higher than stock after riding it for 100 miles. The CVT autotunes the bike to your driving style. I love it!! Next up, Cobra pipes for about 2 months and then the BAK!! I want to do each one seperately so I have a baseline for each change to show the guys at the shop. And just to let everybody know, the Fi2000 CVT has been on sale for around 475.00 bucks. Normally 599.00. You'll definitely notice the difference!! Can't wait for the pipes to hear the sound!!

Re:I LOVE MY R/S 1 Year ago  
I have lots of people come into the shop for a serious session of "bench riding". Most of them ride H/Ds & they're usually surprised to hear that I ride a R/S. The conversation will always lead to "Those Jap bikes might look like Harleys, but they'll never get that H/D sound right." Then I go fire-up my '00 R/S & they nearly spot their underalls !
