    Been told they are pretty limited in the leg room dept. How do you reckon a tall bloke would go on one ?

    Boof,

    I am just over 185cm and I found the seating position did not suit at all, it just felt all wrong and cramped. Shame really as the 105th model looked real smick.

    I had a fang on an 07 at the Gold Coast Bike Week Chrome Porn Fest Thing in September, it did feel a bit odd and looked a LOT odd from the riders point of view.
    I'm 6'1" and was pretty comfortable on it.
    Power wise it was pretty good, had to reach for the redline to get it really moving though.
    I tried to clutch it up a few times but failed miserably, maybe i just wasnt commited enough, that and the fact the ride leader on a fat boy was the next bike in front of me, i had to try and keep it low key.
    Overall, like Crasher, i liked it but probably wouldn't buy one.

    i didnt take photos but i can tell you in detail how to do it. obviously you start by taking the cans off and the black end caps,if you dont want to do it yourself i can do it for you takes about 1.5 hours you would freak at how restrictive those baffles are let me know.

    Im over six foot and have no probs with seating, maybe forward controls bit further forward, other than that comfy as, if u want noise throw on a set of samson rip saws, just dont expect anyone to ride behind you or beside you
