1. Carbon fiber fenders/huggers anyone have them, any issues?
2. Reccomened oil and weight? (not manual spec's)
3. Any neat things on the bike i might not be aware of or it can do?
4. Any cool stories???

2. Moto grade 10W-30 until 5k miles, convert to Amsoil synthetic 10W-30
3. Lots of 'neat' things on the bike. You will discover them as you increase your riding ability and become 'aware' of how impressive SS bikes are. Just dont get too cocky or she will show you who is in control.
4. Me and a buddy (rides a BMW) recently completed an Iron Butt SaddleSore 1000 (1000 miles in less than 24hrs). We did it in 14 hours, while stopping for lunch, gas, and viewing the hurricane destruction in Florida and Alabama.

You're "respectability factor" just went up 10 points. Dayummm. Iron Butt on a 929 is impressive. What sort of "comfy" features have you added if any?

My suspension leans toward the track, but I find it to be very comfortable (HyperPro progressive springs (front/rear) when dialed in for street riding (a few turns out). I will post a report after we go to Ohio (BMW International Fest) in June. There are several trips planned this year, but I am unsure of how many I will be able to attend (hopefully all of them).

Yeah I too like my stock seat. I have thought about recovering it, but I dont know right now, My major problem with long rides are my hands and fore arms.. I notice they [hands/arms] are sore after a while... I think I need to get gel grips or something to soften up the grips... my hands cramp up after a while... and maybe I should put more lean on the tank... who knows. I'll figure somethign out, but I am not getting rid of my seat!
