I'll continue to harp on this until it gets some attention: You CANNOT see the MFD during daytime operations, except during precise lighting conditions. The MFD is necessary to track tire pressure, mileage, radio and navigation functions and many other system settings. It is a safety hazard when I'm trying to see the display instead of paying attention to my driving. If I'm wearing sunglasses, I have to lift them off my head and lean into the MFD before I can see any of the information. It might as well not be there. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price to upgrade to a "transflective" or color screen that can bee seen in sunlight. THIS IS NOT JUST A CONVENIENCE ISSUE...IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!
Also, you really can't call the Chieftain a "touring" bike without a trunk. I just finished a 4-day to the Laughlin River Run and didn't have enough room in the bags to carry what I needed, and NO PLACE to store the helmets.
Other than these two "beefs," I absolutely LOVE my Chieftain. It rides like a high-end, well tuned sports car.
