New owner here, just posting now that my pics are working. 3k miles, had a FP3 tune and was stripped prior to trade probably, but great bike and upgrade from the FatBob. Still learning the platform, need a FSM, still in warranty though so not worried much. Window shopping exhaust still and will do more later. Hooked up a new battery tender last night, so no more cold and lonely nights

On pickup, bike was supposed to had been washed right, but on seat removal trying to get to the battery way in hell it was wiped down, let alone washed. Texted my salesman, no reply.

Needs a good bath, but besides that it's legit. On with the exhaust, intake, PV2, seat etc.

There is a battery tender wire that can be found tucked down below the left side cover with a end connector that is half male and half femele. I has a ruber cap on it.

Yes sir, my old tender (NoCo) didn't have that type lead, so I got a Battery Tender Jr and good to go now. The battery is deep in there, and the lead for the tender is integrated into the wires, so that made it a no-brainer.

Yes it’s the hammock, it’s nice but honestly pushes me forward too much. I’d sell it to find it’s replacement. How’s the stock seat? The hammock is the only one it came with.

The stock was horrible for me but other find it comfortable. I have the Tallboy and it get me in a better position. Comfort is good enough. The Hammock looks very comfortable if you can match up with the dimensions. Seems most of the seats are designed for riders 5'8" to 5'10".

I actually have a lead on one for cheap as a backup, then sell this one and get a Lucky Dave’s or C&C. I had the tall boy on my Fatbob and switched it out for the LaPera Daddy Longlegs seat, shape was more lean end to end and didn’t cut me down in back of my thighs. This hammock is going to find my next one I’ve got a feeling lol.
