Hey
Almost like mine '04. Same color too! No extra lights. Mine had bar backs and a tall Parabellum shield. Also a BMW small police clip board on the gas cap, that was to write tickets. Just kidding on the tickets. I called it the Silver Fox.
Some of us S bikers have a affinity for R bikes too...just sayin!

The Sargent seat, Hella FF-50's, and the Cee Baileys screen that I later added, made for a really excellent ride. But when my wife decided to quit riding pillion, it wasn't overly difficult to transition to an S.

Northern California in October
I had the chance to ride south for an airhead event in Manchester California, so naturally I didn't take the airhead, I rode the S-bike!
US 191 near Crescent City California.

Babe looked jealous; Paul said he liked the bike.

Despite the fact that other colors may claim to be faster, that looks really nice in all black.
I want the chin fairing from ORexpat's bike - but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it.
Clean machine there, Sarge. Don't see many of those around. As far as raising the seat, one could always sit on a phone book. Experiment with different towns and cities until you get the right height. I know, not helpful.

If you were to get a custom seat from Russell, for example, chances are it would raise you up an inch or more. Unfortunately there is no up-and-down adjustment on the C and the CL. You should check out the C/CL forum...Chromeheads. You can get a lot of help there.

I'd take your advice but in my town of less than 1000 our phone book is more of a pamphlet!
Thanks Ray!
