    Oooooooh, I went to the rally, saw that and want that!

    A few of us took rides on other members bikes. While we definitely walked and admired our friends bikes. What did you see or feel on your ride or see on the walkarounds that made you say........'I want that'?

    I really like the windscreen Chess had. I took many pics and hope to get the manufacturer to repeat his custom screen. I rode Charlie's bike and loved the throttle paddle. Even though I have cruise that throttle paddle would have been great for the rides we had last week. My throttle thumb gets to aching with the on/off throttle riding. (Which paddle do you have with stock grips and grip puppies?) If I could go solo I really liked the Colonels solo pilot package. There is also no doubt at how awesome the SoCal LED headlamps can improve safety. I had several folks behind me on the convoy to Fayetteville that just make the B so much more noticeable. They are on my short list for sure.

    More power, Mr. Scott!

    I'm going to improve my audio system next.
    I don't want a sub, and I do not want to sacrifice any storage space, but I know I need a bit (as in a LOT) more oomph from the amp and different drivers.

    So I guess I'm looking for a small (size) power amp, running some 14/4 gauge speaker cable and speakers that will fit without modifying the bike.

    Without a sub? You're best bet would probably be the incarnation that Robert (Pressorv) did. His system sounded pretty decent without the sub. Mine sounds ok, without the sub, but really needs the sub. He has the advantage ,as you know, with the control over the signal input. Very impressive, but impressive costs you. But hey , you got it.. Can't hide money.

    I don't want to have to play with all those gizmos. If I want to do that, I go get my big PA toys out.

    However, Rob and you both said that signal coming right off the pre-amp was AFU, so maybe.....

    I am evaluating audio as well. And just like Steve, don't want to give up a bag. Posted this in another thread for evaluation and consideration and Robert gave some great direction.

    But, to keep on topic, I experienced more peer pressure than I have since junior high. Calvin forced me, and numerous others, to sit on his Ultimate seat repeatedly. He even led me kicking and screaming directly to the Ultimate trailer at the BBB vendor area. Yes, I succumbed to the pressure and purchased the Ultimate King. Awesome seat, awesome supporting vendor, awesome friend. Thanks Calvin.

    Sitting on Calvins seat definitely put the ultimate King on my shortlist. And the adjustable baggershield the wife liked a lot when I took Charlie's bike for a ride.
