| Boudioue,
Welcome to the forum and your english is really good. It sounds like you have done the same things many of us have done. I have the hyperpro front springs and it really makes it feel more of a motorcycle feeling instead of a scooter.
I also have the Metzler's after having 2 sets of Diablo's and the original Hoops. I really like the Metzlers and hope they last as long as the Diablo's (which are great tires too). Since you have the Leo vince exhaust, have you thought about the Power Commander? I have that and it really makes the engine just 'purr" along, even though it is already very smooth.
Please post some pictures sometime. You can go to the "Albums" section and create your own folder to place pictures. We would all like to see your bike and pictures of your country as you go on rides. And thanks for joining and hope you enjoy the site. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| thanx JeffR and congratulations for the site administration and your many pictorials. The little I saw of this forum is pretty like our club-scootergt in France (people sharing the same hobby, meeting in real life or not and chating about several subjects). whith drilled air box, power commander is the second thing I discovered here but I have to read a little bit more to make me an idea  (and i know if I have any question... ) Tomorrow we'll ride with friends of my club I will take some picture of our trip and put it online... |

| goodbye from Paris :
I killed my speederbike 15 days ago, something about the engine... Maybe it's better like this because I was going to put fournales shock absorber to push further the limits of this amazing bike...
After thinking about it I decided to change for a everyday-bike and i will try to be wiser with it...

Enjoy your bikes ! |
