It cleaned up really nice. The only thing cosmetic about it that is wrong is the corbin seat has small cracks all over it. I actually didnt know it was a six speed riding it home from the dealership and pulled another gear. It darn near went to idle at 65. I have noticed a small oil leak when parked. I have been told its when they stop leaking you have to worry because its out of oil. Anyhow, I need to service this thing asap, the oil drips are not real fresh looking. Hmm, got some reading to do.

Forks : Change the fluid or rebuild

Small leak : trace and fix leaking seal

Left foot : Add highway pegs to crash bars

Get a Demo seat before you buy.HD dealers will rent you a demo seat for $25 for 3 days.Try them until you find one you like.
You can swap it out as many times as you want over the 3 days.
