Oh yeah, haha, I guess I'll have to change it. Most forums, once you set it, you are stuck with it.

 

Thank you! I think so, it only took one bike previous to realize it. I know I'm not the first, and sure I won't be the last.

Thanks, I'm glad to be here.

Yes, it has plenty of power stock, super comfortable and very easy to ride. Almost easier than the sporty somehow. I've barely been up to 60, but it just loafs when it reaches that speed. That's a good thing.

I'll be lucky if I can take it on a big trip one day. Hawaii is pretty limited with roads, unless I just want to do circles around the island.

Yeah, I wanted solid wheels this time. The spokes just didn't do it for me, plus a lot of extra cleaning/maintenance. The H/T shifter took about 2 mins to get used to, but I'm still working on finding neutral, as I can only find it while the bike is off, I'm sure I'll get used to it. Unfortunately, I don't own a garage, but I have some pretty steps I can sit, does that count?

That looks great! I like the curved pipes. Which are those?

 

It is a beautiful, iconic bike, and it looks great out of the crate and especially in black. Best of luck with it. Two tips:

1. Don't tell your friends on the Sporty forum about this because they will get all sensitive and ornery.
2. Lightly tap the heel shifter to find neutral from first.
