I like it and I'm considering it in blue and the ctx1300 in deluxe red. Some keep saying they won't consider it because of no wind screen and saddlebags, but those are clearly listed as genuine honda accessories for the bike.. I agree it may "ruin" the look of the bike, but I'm waiting to see what honda has come up with for both the valkyrie and the tall windscreen and trunk for the ctx1300 before I make my final decision.
