My bike is a 2003 and I have had it for 2 years. Since then I have added a Clearview windshield with a vent, a set of air wings which is the best thing I did for cooling in the summer and warming in the winter, two sets of Metzler tires which made a big difference in handling in grooved pavements. I have put on 35,000 miles. The paint is custom by Terry Dereck of Cedar Creek, Texas. The desert scene was his idea and I liked it. I added lots of lights and fringe. I know it's different, but it's a great bike to ride.
