Ratman I agree , the visor's look great and add that classy touch . I appreciate the provided link and will order them up this weekend  ;)

PC , thanks for the compliment my good man . I'll be sure to provide side by side pictures once I finally get MA-DEUCE all back together and out the basement . I'm still waiting on my goods from Ospreys . I have to be honest I'm a little disappointed with this outfit .

Looking great Richie!

You know, now that you have one of each model, we're going to require an in depth riding review highlighting the best and worst of each model and a side by side comparison, right?

  Personally I think it just makes the bike look more finished then leaving them off.

Thanks ratman , I too like the all silver emblems a lot better . All the items I put on today are accessories I've purchased since December , when first learning of pilgrims sale of such bike . I think I'll be adding the directional visors as well soon , being I like the appearance they gave after seeing them installed on your ride last year  ;)

Nice looking, D1!  I like that all-silver tank emblem a lot better than the newer ones.

PC thanks for the seat tip , it's definitely on the to do winter list .

I changed out the two-up to the solo seat today and man what a HUGE difference on posture and comfort , not to mention the beauty of those big fenders .

Well I cannot wait to try out my new seat, but then I never had any issues with my 800's stock seat.........

I have a stock solo seat and I have the Fire & Steel 2up, and I can tell you for a fact that the Fire & Steel Corbin foamed seat is WAY harder then the stock foamed seat.

Reveen , It's funny you mention the back seat . I sat on the back to see if the back portion pushed you forward and man I dam there slid out the seat . The bottom portion of the seat slides the passenger so forward I couldn't even touch the back rest . This seat is definately poorly designed .

PC I'm packing this dam seat up and sending it your way this winter so at least you have one project on the bike list  ;D

Also I would like to mention the handle bars on the 800 seem to be a little wider and angled out . I like the bars on the 800 much more , so the new beach bars are definately going on the 1500 for a winter project .

I haven't tried to sit in the passenger seat yet, but my wife says its just awkward and you really have to slouch in a weird position to be able to use the backrest. I want my wife to enjoy our riding together, so I either buy a new seat or try to fix the existing seat. I would really rather not buy a new seat, so I think I will do my best to try and flatten it out a bit.

The handlebars that are on my 1500 are very wide and comfortable (now that I added some pullback risers)
