You might not touch actually

The seat is REALLY wide, and Lori said her 04 Factory she basically had to side-saddle it almost at a stop because of that. And the height wasn't even set high.

That's ok, we do have a Pedrosa step here though.

Congratulations!!!

Now that's a proper V-twin. Though I heard that the V-4 is pretty badass too.

PS Talk to the AF1 boys about 1060-cc big bore kit.

Nice, I had an 04 too, but silver. The paint is pretty thick compared to other bikes, and the plastic seems thicker too. I also loved how the fuel tank was plastic, so you could barely hear the gas sloshing around, unlike metal tanks. Get the suspension set up somewhere, because those bikes are really sensitive to setup. Also the rear shock might be worn out due to heat soak from the exhuast. Might want to upgrade to an Ohlins and wrap the pipe that goes next to the shock.
