I really never spent much on Brakes... Even on the DragBike... anything that will slide the wheel is Powerful enough... IMO
Heck!!! I almost like the Built in anti-lock feature of the old '73-'77 Pie Slice!!!
Ya gotta be in Panic mode to lock that sucker!!!!!!

Fluids, etc.
Just ordered a service manual off eBay, but I won't have it for a week probably. I'll try hard to resist the urge to ride it until I change all the fluids, which will be rough. But in the mean time, wondering about fluids. I have a lot of redline syn fluids I use in my two other bikes. Is the same primary and tranny fluid used in twin cam ok in an EVO primary/tranny?

Mchad, that's a great looking scoot, I can feel your excitement all the way out here in Iowa. I know the feeling! 
Everybody has already given great advice as to what to do with your new bike. I'm still a relative noob with EVO's, so I can't offer anything new.
I just hope you enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying my good old Heritage Classic!

Yep, they may be a bit long too. I also may look to get the chrome springs which Ohlins sells, as this bike has basically NO black, as opposed to my LRS which is ALL black...
