Roadhand Posted June 20, 2011 #26 Posted June 20, 2011 Welcome to this side. You will enjoy your wing but I agree, the Venture would handle the long haul like no other I have had. Great ride.
FreezyRider Posted June 21, 2011 #27 Posted June 21, 2011 OK received a big box of goodies, so all I have to do find some time to put them on. I did manage to get the drink holder installed, I like to get a sip while riding, I think it's more habit that necessity. Man this thing will hold a "GI" or as they say now a "40". I'm going to get the MP3 player that runs through the CD before it tear into it and start the hitch and and Utopia back rest. That way I can get it all done at the same time. Will be working on the bag and trunk lighting as it is very easy to install. Also going to order some are rests for the other(better) half. She said she's fine like on the RSV buttttttttt, it would be nice to have. She's worth the $ so they'll be coming on this next order. If anyone has suggestions on armrests for an 08 wing I'll be glad to listen. I have the Kuryakyn's. They work fine for their intended purpose, but are a pain to deal with when you want to open the trunk. Gotta swing them out of the way if you are going to open the lid more than 3 inches. The Rivco's are really intriguing....and a bit $alty too. But they look great and since they pivot up instead of out, they will automatically move out of the way when opening the trunk.

coy55boy Posted June 21, 2011 #28 Posted June 21, 2011 + another one on the Kuryakyn rests. They work just fine but they are a real PITA when getting into the trunk (which I do on a regular basis). If those Rivco pieces weren't made of solid chromium, I'd get a set to replace these.
jer878 Posted June 21, 2011 Author #29 Posted June 21, 2011 Ordered the Rivco armrests and the bikeMP3 w/software last night. They're saying the MP3 will ship 6-24 and the arm rests 6-30. I really don't want to mess with the armrests to open the trunk and the extra well, she's worth it.
