Well, I finally got to pick her up today, after being sick the last 4 days. I drove her for only 65 miles, but considering how long it's been, I feel I'm doing good with that. It took me a good 15 miles to get comfortable to the foot shifter for christ sakes! I had the most difficult time upshifting, and couldn't figure why! Finally I got a "feel" for it, and in like Flint!

Very smooth, that is my 1st impression. I understand what people mean when they describe the power delivery as linear. Makes me think of those Star Wars machines they fly through the woods on. It will take me a little time to get used it, especially low speed handling, but I feel it the more I ride...the more I smile!

Anyway, I wanted to post up here and let everyone here know I got it, because of the help and information I received from this forum. Thank you to all who directly or indirectly helped me make this a reality!

This photo is all I have at the moment, but be assured...more will be coming.

Thanks. How did those sliders work our for you? I really want those first.

 
You might need to adjust the shifter position. I had to lower the shifter when I bought mine, then raise it again when I changed my boots.

 
Thanks all! Rain today and tomorrow, looks like Sunday will be ride day with the camera.

 
LKLD, I've got to see your bike! PM me for "meet up" details.

I work about 3 miles from Sky Power Sports, so I'm "real" familiar with your home town. :D
