Bought my '08 in December and had the dealer install forward controls as part of the deal. Now I had the winter to change to what I wanted. A Mustang solo seat, Rush slash downs. Pullbacks ( 1" up and 2" back), Laysown plate and luggage rack. Thought I was set to go but found a lot of valve noise when climbing a long grade. I took it to the dealer and they told me it was my kickstand vibrating. Yeah, right! I put in a different oil pressure relief spring and fixed the problem and have been riding happily since. I've had a few bikes in my 66 years and think the FXDC is one of the nicer looking and handling of them all. Ride safe ~ Nels
