you don't need a PCIII with just a few holes in the exhaust though Ya coulda bought a whole heap of chrome with the $300!
Yep jumbo. I would say go get the extra jumbo though. the fact that they are slanted takes away some useable space. I can get my workout clothes, towell and sneakers in one bag and my wife's same stuff in the other, but nothing else. Not enough space for much of a weekend without a T-bag too. The x-tra jumbos still fit fine so I'm told.

Yah i know i don't NEED the PCIII right now. But it came in the deal for the bike. Plus, I know a guy who knows a guy. so i get a GREAT deal on a custom MAP. Custom tuning is the only way to make a computer worth it. and believe me, it does. I need to get up there and get it MAPed now that i drilled the pipes and ride almost always 2up with my wife. He will set up the torque curve or something like that to be more efficient with a passenger. Probably bringing it more to the low end. I dont know. he is the pro and for the price i won't argue.

I'm not into chrome either. IDK why, just not my thing. I like things painted to match the bike or a color that looks good with the tank color. I actually want to paint the sissy bar and the covers a flat grey or silver, or actually an old shool red, like the Indian color. Havent really thought it out yet. it might look dumb though. I need to try it on photo shop first...
