Back to the original post - my modifications to my 2015 Vegas - after about 5000 miles I am still very happy with it - goes down the road much straighter than it did, and is not deflected by crosswinds and passing trucks. I would certainly spend the $1K or so again. Only thing I would change from my original assessment is : as the Bilstein shocks break in the ride is greatly improving. Some shocks have a lot of friction when they are new - not usually a problem with a Bilsteins - but apparently is with these. Judging by the shocks today, I would not use the " comfort " shocks.
My wife is much more comfortable driving it, and I get more nap time
Coupled with all the noise reduction work I have done, I'm really starting to like this Vegas ! If only Thor had done more development work on it... But I do think they have been making improvements on the newer ones....
