Did a lot of cleaning today. Rode around the block a few times. Hope to have plates tomorrow. Then a bit more adventuresome.

Not as rattley as I expected. Gas caps are loose. Fixed that with a wrap of shock cord.

The little cover over the ignition switch is loose and jingles. I am going to try to secure that. A little buzz from the tail some place - maybe license plate?

Has after market pipes. A little loud, but not too bad.

Necessary to make them all fit and give access to primary riders. That may change after I get tags for the Harley and get all the fluids changed.

No worries - I am a gear guy - no shorts and loafers for me. The guy pictured on the bike is the original owner. Just getting it off the trailer.
