i actually like the 08's better, i know i dont have a swing arm spools but i perfer the color and the 25th edtion badge

and im running the most up to date flash

I don't care about the lack of spools either, I have the pit bull rear stand made for the 1125. works on other bikes too, it's slick.
You will find the back wheel next to impossible to keep the diamond blue that it started life with your (similar to my own) lack of constant cleaning.

Nice bike, nice limestone. How do the brakes compare to the RC?

I knew you would love the switch!
