........I'm enjoying this experience more than I ever expected and problems have been minimal. When my '02, ds/w, MCS arrived (9/16/02) with white bonnet stripes, black leather, DSC, heated seats, 16" V-spokes, rubber mats and luggage......the notion of mods was foreign to me. That has certainly changed as a result of the information I have gleaned from this forum and I have added these mods and products to good advantage.........
