Hello from South Georgia!

Just introducing myself. I bought my bike new in 2006 with 7 miles on it. Since I bought it, I've put on over 4000 miles. 98% of it driving to and from work, which is a little over 16 miles round trip. I haven't had any long trips on it, probably the longest was about 50 miles or so. I've done a few things to the bike in the time i've had it. I put on a small windshield (don't remember who makes it but it says SpitFire on it), i've changed the brake pads, drilled the muffler and turned the air filter from facing backwards to facing forwards. The last two mods seemed to have increased my top speed to about 65-68 mph with a tiny bit of throttle left. Not enought to make a difference in an emergency, though. I ran into the back of a pickup truck a couple of months ago and cracked the front fender up pretty bad, so I removed it and have no plans on replacing it. I also broke the windshield as i went through it. That, i have replaced. I'm planning on swapping the muffler out with the EMGO side turnout and having to adjust the carb. Those will be my next mods in the coming months.

Amyway, just wanted to say Hi to everyone and thanks for the forum. I've wanted to do some things to my bike but never could find any aftermarket parts that looked like it might fit. This is THE place to find what I'm looking for. Thanks to Dupo and the rest for all the great info!!
