I purchased my '09 wing this past April, since then I have been all over the western U.S. The bike now has 18k, so riding it is not an issue. Winter is coming, and I need to move my 5th wheel (toy hauler)and my bike, south for more riding. I am hooked on this bike, as it has exceeded my every expectation. My V-Twin buddies are jealous. That said I don't want my "wing" damaged as I travel, coming lose, or damaging it is not acceptable. Since it is in the toy hauler, I might not know something has happened until it is too late. Thx for the info
