Hello everyone. Just wanted to take a second and introduce myself. I currently have a 2004 Honda VTX 1300 with 61,213 miles (every one of them are mine) and just bought a 2016 Connie. I counting the days till she is delivered, put together and ready to ride. The VTX is going to sit in Florida at my parents house so I have a bike to ride when I visit.
The one thing that I am worried about is all the electronics. The dealer offered an extended warranty and said I can add it when I pick up the bike..... yea or nay? Just want to get an idea if its worth it? Is there an aftermarket warranty that trumps the dealers?
Last but not least any "must do" mods or additions?
Keep the sunny side up

Welcome to the forum. Unless your dealer is going price an additional factory three year for less than $400 you can find a thread here... http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=225.0 It's the same warranty from Ma Kaw

@silverconnie - Born and raised in the Tampa Bay area but job has me in Kansas City. I'm guessing you are somewhere down in Florida?
For now I'll probably leave it stock but like others have stated it wont be long till I do something to it. Now I'll be searching the forums and web for what Phils plate is.
Welcome!
Concur with the comments on the Crapstone tires. Even at slower speeds I find them squirrelly as hell. My PR4 GTs arrived yesterday. It'll cost me $200 to get them mounted and balanced.
Bring them to Austin, I'll do it for beer.
That particular Stealer isn't even a Kawi Stealer, but he's closest to me (still 40 miles one-way). The Stealer that I bought the bike from will do it for $150 -- so the bike is going to go to him for the tire mount and balance AND warranty work on the TPMS batteries. He's 120 miles one-way. I get those irritating messages every morning . . .
Yeah, I know. I live in the middle of nowhere . . .
