I believe it's a stock seat with a Bagster Seat cover. I bought it used and the guy put a lot of extras on it. The tank cover and tank bag are also from Bagster. It's a European company that makes top notch stuff. The tank bag attaches to the tank cover with a seat belt type buckle. It's very nice and all you have to do is unclip front and back on one side to get to the gas cap. Or if the GPS isn't installed you can just unclip the two in the back and flip the bag up.

Yea, not a lot of sportbikes up there but it's funny how many people trailer their bikes there. I bought a shirt that says "I rode mine":) There is so much to see and so much to do.

I had a GREAT time and didn't have any problems with any of the bikers. Most of them are all rich posers anyway. Loading up their big trailers and pulling them from all over in there gas guzziler SUV/truck. I rode mine over 500 miles each way and probably rode another 600 riding in the hills every morning before all the bikers woke up.

I didn't ride it downtown sturgis and park it in the middle though but I did see a few sportbikers who did. All in all everyone had a good attitude and was there to have fun.

I know!!!!! I think riding mine and having Alberta plates made me stand out. They knew not to say anything derogitory or i'd bust out the ole "ya well i rode mine".
Honestly though the people there where amazingly friendly and receptive. I hate to say it but they where a lot more receptive than a sport bike group would be to a cruiser.
Would love for you to upload more pictures, takes me back down memory lane and i doubt i'll be back as i am now married.

tbone · 08-12-2008, 03:47 PM
