Sport touring rig based on the lightning long chassis. Full fairing, along the lines of fjr1300, st1300. Locking hard bags, stereo, cruise control, 4 head lights, 2 low beam, 4 high beam. Higher out put alternator (to run heated clothing). It would seem to me with just some suspension work the xb12ss would be a fantastic bike for this.

Things it already has to recommend it are:

Excellent powerband low rpm high torque level

Hydraulic valves

Belt drive that is self adjusting

Excellent fuel economy and good range

light weight

Any one else think that it would be nice to have a v twin alternative to the current crop of bikes in this class. HD has nothing in the class and as far as I can tell nothing even close so inter competition should not be an issue.

How about a 12ss with the V-Rod engine! Water cooled, DOHC, 120 hp.

Same as Wing but, W/detuned XBRR 1340cc should be good for 120HP- 45MPG- as comfortable as XBX.Perfect...SOLD.
