It has consumed excess oil from when I took it home to when I brought it back. When I got home last night, I stunk like oil and my garage this morning smelled real bad. Really disappointed today. I am sure the dealership will take care of it and make it right.

My bars are crazy crooked also.tried the old moto technique to get em straight but wouldn't budge.

when you all turn on your blinkers, the little green arrows appear in your Tach, right?

What's the verdict on the rear shocks? I'm looking at getting the Progressive 444 for my FXDF, I can get these HD shocks for almost $100 less (with coupons I have at the dealer).

Traded my 2013 FXDF for my S. My verdict is that the S has better rear shocks, and overall handling. I have never had Progressive 444s so I can't help with that part.

Green arrows for the turn signals are in the tach. What rear solo rack will work on these bikes without modification? Thanks!

Mine is, but I still am not doing it LOL.

I had the wheel aloft on my Hayabusa quite a few times on the way to the dealer to trade it in on the S...knowing they would be my last wheelies.
