Welcome to the fofum, and cheers on the new bike...
I'd suggest you use the search box for info about the end can...
...you'll also find tons of info here...
My 1st bike was a virago 250...
I've ridden (not owned) a few choppers including a harley in the past years but not being able to hold the bike with my legs just doesn't work out for me, i feel so not in control when i'm sitting on cruisers...
They are beutiful to look at though...
like almost every review about anything on the web... i've never seen any bike magazine or website that has said any honest negative feature about anything.
I'd love to read that some bike is realy crap !
Actualy heated grips and heated seats work realy good, they warm up the blood in your palm and your butt, the warm blood flows through your body and helps to keep your body temperature.
But this works a whole lot better if you have good thermal clothing to prevent loss of body temperature...
