I know we talk about our stuff alot, but we love to. So, take this opportunity to tell us what you would buy again as soon as you got another bike. Stuff that you would transfer counts.

Here's what I would buy again right away:
GPS
Hartco Seat w/ driver backrest
Windbender HP
Wig-Wag brake modulator
Arai Signet GT w/J&M headsets.
Baker Handwings

Mick-O-Pegs
Foot rest lowering blocks
CB
CD Player
Ipod
Edset
Garmin 2610
Russell Seat
XM Radio
Hand Wings
All my RAM mounts
All my Electrical Connection stuff
ALL my chrome, except the heel rest
REG Risers
I like all my lights and especially my sweet little KIT LIGHT from Jon


I don't know for sure but I think I have spent over $6000 on extras and besides the heel rest I would buy it all again.
My Wing gets more comfortabe and prettier to my every time I go out to the garage

accesories we would buy again

1) tunnel fillers to keep rain and dust out. 2) sony mini disc.3) kuryakyn: transformer boards, dually highway pegs, and billet flat luggage rack.4) some kind of driver backrest (not sure which one because i got the Khromewerks one but had to pay an upholsterer to make the cheesy padding thicker). 5) belly pan. 6) gerbings jacket liners. 7) factory heated grips.

Utopia
Air Hawk
Honda rear spoiler
Baker mirror wings
Dauntless trailer hitch
Escapade Elite trailer
Vega XPV flip front
GPS
iPod
RAM mounts

Having had two other tourers, I know this is all I need. Well, maybe some foot rests... except most of them are just plain butt ugly. 8)

Things that are a must have for me:
CB
GPS with RAM and Kennedy audio hookup
Rear Spoiler w/ Brake Light
Kury Iso Grips
55w Fog LIghts
Tulsa Mirror Wings
EdSets

Everything else is for show. I'm happy with the stock seat (as long as I don't do more than 1K miles per day) and don't need bigger windshield or a backrest.

All of my other accessories are nice to have and I have no complaints, they just aren't necessities.

5 Power inverters, 40-60 Watts

iPod
Quest GPS with RAM mount
Kury Pegs

Still to install so no opinion on them yet:
Kennedy FRSet2 & HT CB
AirRider Cellphone Interface
Polk Speakers & AMP

Guess I'm waiting for bad weather to rip into the bike to install the rest of this stuff.

Rick you forgot the right saddle bag, rear fender and etc. etc. Heh! Heh!
Just kidding, and I hope you don't have to go though that again, and will get the "Duck tape" off soon and back in business.


By the way, the wife and I took a trip down to Charlotte N.C. last week, to help our son and daughter-in-law move in their new house. I was wearing your T-shirt ( A real butt-kickin, wheelie poppin...etc.etc.) in the Milwaukee airport, and got lots of laughs. The pilot on our U.S. Air fight wanted to know were I got that because he has a 1500 Goldwing.

Can someone tell me what the "EC Driving Lights" are and where to get them. The Honda Fog lights are stupid expensive (like all of their accessories). Any other driving/fog light kit ideas would also be welcome.

thanks
