My 18y old Son Has the 08 black and silver in Oakville.
I just put a carbon fiber 2 brothers pipe on it for him (its so light compared to original). Sounds sweet.
Also frame slider from Topenz (great fit and finnish)
and a Talon alarm system. Iv'e taken it out with my wife and it does everything very well.
Sport or touring its a great bike.

Where did you pick these up?
http://www.bluestreakracing.ca/ For the pipe $499.00cdn great company to deal with.
http://www.topendz.com/ for the Frame sliders again great guy to deal with (simon) he has great reviews on gtamotorcycle.com
http://www.talonalarms.ca/contact/ for the alarm, it was on a group buy on the gtamotorcycle.com biker web site. the alarm has a motion sensor, parimitter sensor and ignition imobalizer.
check them all out. I have the same alarm on my Ducati.

I happened accross this wonderful forum when looking up info on the Talon T-3300 alarm. The thread "TALON Motorcycle Alarm Group Buy" was close to the top of the search. I missed out by one week. While I doubt we could get the exact deal, if we get enough people together we may get some savings (the first group had over 30 orders).
Take a look at the system: Talon Alarms Product Page. I have heard a lot of good things about it. At full price it is still much less expensive than the competitors.
I'm going to hold off from paying full price for a short while in the hope that we get some interest going here... please post a reply if you are seriously interested. If there are enough of us (20+?) I will contact Talon and see what they can do. I know that is pretty soft, but at this stage I'm just sending out feelers to see if this has a shot.
As I'm writing this, I get the feeling that I've missed the boat on this one. Here's hoping there are enough of you out there to proove me wrong! Thanks!

2009-04-21 UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the rep from Talon. Here is the information that I have so far:
- the last group purchase wiped out the available stock of the Basic models, so only the models with the battery backed-up siren are available. Not a problem for me as that is the one I wanted.
- our offer is to have the perimeter sensor and shipping free with the purchase of an alarm. This constitutes approximately a $40 savings. The harness is *not* included as it was with the last group, but they were a much larger group. I think this is a nice offer for our small group.
- we can expect to get a discount code and more details fairly soon - so keep an eye on this thread.
Please note that group orders like this take time. Shipments would not likely start until early next week.
I will post further details as soon as I get them.
2009-04-22 Update: The details for ordering are in post #46 of this thread. Please read it carefully, make your order, and then *be patient*. Don't expect shipping to start until early next week. After that it could take a while to get all units shipped. Brad from Talon has been very helpful and I for one am very happy to be getting this discount.
For the sake of my own interest, please post a thread reply letting us know if you have ordered or if you have decided not to order.
Also, there were at least a couple of you interested in getting together for a group install: check this thread later for details on this idea...
