need to add... about the ride... I was in a hurry when I posted last....
Super X rides are very good. That springer with the mechanical anti dive works, and works very well. My only complaint for my boney butt, is the seat. I got a corbin, which for me was like day and night. There are a lot of owners out there that are fine with the stock seat.
For a heavy bike they handle very well... and depending on your size, and the monoshock settings, you'll get different clearances for curves.
I've also got a wind vest windsheild.... works very well, and looks good.
All the vendors have forward controls for your feet. I don't have any as of yet, and may down the road. My Son has a set of Bobby (Xmany) Baldwins forward controls, which I like.... as I can dangle my feet over them, for a change up of position. Maybe hard to find a set of his.... but the other ones I'm sure are alike.
Marty/Jamie's forward controls, I believe you can leave the footpads on, and have the convenience of the forward controls.
I've heard of several owners putting throttle locks on their bikes, and they work very good. Although I can't remember the brands.
Our X's are selling at great prices right now on Ebay. Some with all the updates done, and good milage, at prices between 5k-8k. Crate bikes are a bit higher, but you need to understand that there are a few updates that you really should invest in .....

hope this helps...
