Pics of my new 14 finally
Hey guys , I’ve had my brand new 14 for about 6 weeks now , did a few mods and got enough miles in before the riding season is over here in Illinois , was able to do break in oil etc , only thing missing in there is the arrow exhaust . I have the Corbin gunfighter with all the cool red stitching etc , dart flyscreen , RLETs , SW Motech engine guards , and my homemade license bracket to eliminate the ugly stocker with reflectors

I find your lack of RLETs disturbing

RE: Pics of my new 14 finally
Is the seat comfortable compared to stock?

Thanks Ferret , the bullet was def a finicky booger when I got it , had 201 miles on it and sat for 2 years. So it took me some time to properly break it in and tune it for the cone filter and straight gold star pipe, here we are 6700 miles later and lots of polishing and it’s a great little bike as long as you ride it for what it’s designed for , actually super reliable after the 1 year mark of ownership , now it’s been like 7 years

Wow! Very nice. Chrome front fender really works well. And that seat looks as comfy as it is gorgeous.

Hey , yeah it’s more firm but it holds up much better after some miles and seat time , my issue with the stock one was it seemed to collapse on edges over time making it uncomfortable , this one holds firm and keeps me more comfy

RE: Pics of my new 14 finally
how do you like that windscreen? how does it affect you while riding? I have been thinking about getting a low profile screen like this, mainly for looks, but don't want the change in wind stream to affect me negatively on the highway. I have been on some bikes where I feel like im riding behind a semi truck...if you know what im saying.

Hey, i like it alot. I also bought it strictly for looks which is pretty much what its for. I didn't notice any wind deflection or weird buffeting, basically just feels like stock as far as i can tell. Install was easy and quality is great. I was looking at their "Marlin" version as well but its a little bigger and the shape is pretty different so i chose the conventional one. Hope this helps
