    That top case is definitely on the list of mods. Seeing somebody else with their hard luggage while I struggled with my soft bags made me vow to never deal with that again. What other mods have you guys done? Besides heated grips and a power outlet or two I'm not sure how much really needs to be done to it.

    I have a taller screen, bar risers, gel seat, Triumph off road muffler and tune, RAM mount and an outlet for my GPS (it comes with 1 powerlet style outlet).
    Another popular mod that a lot have done is to replace the 19 tooth front sprocket with an 18 tooth one. It makes the bike damn near perfect!

    Yep as mentioned above there is a power outlet (cigarette lighter style) behind the left side fairing.

    Hey Caddy can we meet up sometime, I'd like to hear that exhaust. Also, can you explain the perceived difference with the sprocket change? Thanks.

    The one on mine is a powerlet style outlet. I added a regular cigarette lighter style one for my GPS.

    Sure. I'm happy with the Triumph off road muffler. It added a lot more deep tone to the exhaust, but it's not too loud like some of the aftermarket ones.

    The 18 tooth makes it a lot easier to drive around town, it's not bogging as much and you won't have to slip the clutch as much when starting out. Plus acceleration picks up a bit, and so does the front wheel!
    My highway MPGs only dropped by 2 from 52 to 50 with the 18 tooth. Fair enough compromise, I'd say!

    Sorry, you are correct, I have never actually used the outlet.
