Welcome neighbor, so to speak. I live straight west of indy about 50 miles. Can't say I ever saw a stretched twin before. Looks pretty good! Take a look around and you'll see some nice rides to gather more ideas off of. I did.B)

I didn't really tear up the twisties, it was my knock around town bike, my 600rr pulled cornering duty. The solid struts weren't much fun on bumpy roads but it was still a fun bike!
