Re: [ST] Another plug for Skyking Products.

Mike,  
Thanks for the feedback on the risers..  I'm ready to order a set as 
soon as they are available.  I put over 6K on the ST and have decided I 
would like a little higher bar.  

I will also order a set of frame sliders as the dreaded "Gravity Storm" 
hit here in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.  No warnings on the Weather 
Channel either!!!.  Can't believe just how easy the bike can get away 
from you --   just a little bit over center and there's no stopping it. 
 Also can't believe how a 0 mph tip over can mess up the lower fairing 
and saddle bag.  Looks like a new lower at least.  I think the frame 
slider would have eliminated all or most of the damage, so I guess a set 
is in order to protect the left side --  too late for the right.  

Almost took it back and put it in the garage, but finally came to my 
senses and realized I bought the ST to ride - not look at.  Just got 
back from a company meeting in Atlantic City, but the ride down and back 
was great!!  Hey --When you're on the bike - you can't see the scrape!!!
