Default Boom! Pulled the Trigger.

Well I haven’t been here for a while. Anyway my regards too those that know me from the forum and the same to those that came after me. Anyway went from a 15 RK to a 18 SGS. I haven’t not gotten to run her except for 15 Miles. The bike looks sweet but any other feedback regarding the ride (M8) engine etc. will follow.

Congratulations on the new bike... M8 feedback, I’m 10K trouble free miles in and it’s all good. Only thing is they run HOT with the cat in place. I changed the exhaust to one with high flow cats in the mufflers and that gave me a considerable reduction in heat. Other than the heat, no complaints.
Ride safe and enjoy

You have been on the forum over 6 years so surely you know the rules. Pics or it didn't happen.

Or maybe you did and decided to shoot it already???

Why did forum members come after you? Is that why you needed an M8, to escape from them?
