Mine started out as an 883 but I did a 1200 conversion on it with some Andrews N4 cams.

Yeah, I'm torn between one of the new 389s and just staying in mine. I will be getting more of the gliders but putting drivers in them, but when it come to myself I just haven't been able to make myself do it. Something comforting about riding around in a paid for rig.
Have you posted pics of the 359?
Sucks that he had a wreck, guess since he is in the 359 he wasn't hurt. -
That's the 359 in my profile. I'm the same about a paid for truck been driving my ol International. It's easier to turn.

nice had to blow it up on the iPhone to see it. It stinks when you start having to wear these little reading glasses.
whoopNride Thanks this. -
Lol
You will get used to the long hood, and if it makes you more carefull that is a good thing... The 389's like the 379's and the 359's before them are beautiful machines and in my opinion you will not find a better ride. (Sure someone will blast me about that) maybe one that gets in tight places a little easier but not a better overall ride. -

I am mid 40's and have to have a comfy car. Nothing like driving a Mercedes the way it handles, comfortable seating and the way it handles. Benz's hold the road like a magnet but rides like a caddy.strollinruss Thanks this. -
