Snagged an 09 last year and put 10k + miles on it so far... Love it! If I had to point out a drawback iI would have to say finding saddle bags that don't look jacked up on the bike... Yeah, I know it doesnt sound right on a Bob, but lunch to work and a 6 pack on the way home is a lot easier with them. Plus over night trips can get chalanging in a back pack...lol
 
Just picked mine up a 2013 Vivid black. Man these things get hot?! I guess it a lot different then my Jap bike.
How do you guys know if its gonna overheat?
Air cooled will always run hotter (or feel warmer) than a water cooled metric... Just the naiture of the beast. Heck if I can handle it in 105 degree East Texas heat anyone can handle it anywhere...lol
