Great choice Toast! Can you post up a full side picture of the bike?

I also wanted to ask, how are you liking the shifter? Is it awkward or is it definitely more comfortable?

That does look pretty sweet on there. What is that orange thing on the rear jug?

Here ya go ace...


I'm getting more and more used to it, and I find shifting to be very comfortable.

The singular issue I have is making a left from a dead stop.

Jaron...I'm pretty sure that's a rag sitting on the other side of the bike

Foot shifter is now my clutch.

I think anything is possible but I don't see why you'd need or want two shifters.

Thanks Toast! Yeah I was wondering about that. Just remember, when all else fails, three rights make a left.

Hahah yeah buddy!

It's easier when I roll out straight and then lean left instead of steering right into the turn

Gets your heart going when you stall in an intersection
