Hello all, I'm a new C-14 owner from California. I picked up a 2011 C-14 that was super clean about about 8 month ago and I absolutely love it. I've been riding for about 15 years and this is my 4th bike and have to say it is the best by far. Love to exchange ideas and answer/ask any question. I'm a bit of a wrencher and can't leave anything stock (ie...L.E.D lights, running lights, handle bar risers, exhaust, tires, and wind screen) you guys know...the important things in life..So if you guys have any questions please feel free to ask, I just wish I would have found you guys sooner I probably would have save myself alot of trial and error. Have a great weekend everyone..

 :thumbs: and Welcome.

Yup, we like pictures a lot - since they are worth a thousand words.

Especially when the OP doesn't say what color bike they bought.  ;D

Nice bike!  Looks like you have made some useful additions with the risers, exhaust, & RAM mounts.  Next, consider adding a Throttlemeister which helps take the strain off your wrists on long rides.

I have the cheap clip on throttle holder and I don't like it. I just got done painting the swing arm, handle bars and all the silver metal parts black including the rims...
