I hope you all enjoyed my "waiting out the winter" video. 
As spring is around the corner, I'm getting my bike ready for a facelift to better appreciate my 800 and give it some teeth.
I was hoping some of you could chime in with some feedback on a few changes I'm thinking of doing.
1) Looking to buy some American Classic II exhaust pipes from HardKrome. Anyone have these? Too loud? Good fit to replace the stock exhaust?
2) Looking to buy some white wall wheels. I know RatMan was looking at the Metzler's. I like the thick white wall look. Good tire?
3) Motique sissy bar and luggage rack. I'm still kicking myself for not trying to buy that for my 800 when their site was still up. I know their stock was limited but RatMan seemed to snatch one up. It's exactly what I am looking for in terms of a passenger solution for comfort and luggage add ons. It seems like there still hasn't been any movement from that company in terms of selling that item or going back into business to sell hardware of that nature. I'm sure RatMan won't sell me his so I'm wondering if anyone knows if they are still quasi belly up or if they can get me one.....or if anyone knows where I can get on that is similar. Seems like 800 drifter parts are tougher and tougher to find.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated guys.
BTW....anyone planning on going to Laconia this year? I'm planning the trip down from Montreal. Only a short ride. If y'all are planning to be there, we should get together for a beer and show our numbers. )
