Default Finally!

A break in the f-ing rain and I was able to go pick up my new SB!!! First ride (for the whole two miles back to the house - LOL) was amazing!! I'll post more as the build begins, but so far, changed to solo seat to Le Pera Cheeokee and added passenger pegs. More to come!!

Very nice I take it she's brand new? Before you do anything else break her in properly, you'll have a better performing machine in the long run. RPM drills to seat the rings then a complete change of all fluids. Most of the wearing in process happens immediately...

I know you are! We'll have to keep tabs on each other's builds! Be interesting to see which direction each of us goes!

Super comfortable and built in back support! Mine doesn't have the gel inside but I had the same seat on my last bike and didn't need it. I'm guessing the gel would make it even more comfy, but you have to order direct from Le Pera for that option.
