Title: Order went in today!!! :-)
Post by: re:RE on July 23, 2012, 09:20:48 pm

This morning I ordered a 2012 C5 "Special" in Desert Storm with custom fitted metal panniers painted to match!

Thank you to all the helped with advice while I was making my decision.

Finished my MSF safety course yesterday and can't wait to get the bike and start riding!!!

P.S. I bought the new spark plug last weekend ;-)

i really want to see how the panniers work out.
do you think they will make them available to the rest of us?

I ordered from MC Supply in Hastings MI.  He showed me the panniers that he customized for "the general's" green military a few weeks ago.  Looked just the thing... and with the respray it will even be color matched.  He said he when he called RE to see if the C5 special metal panniers were available yet, they said no, but he could start building some, for them, if he was interested.  He declined, but at least it shows they are talking about getting them for everyone!
