Default Just got it!!

All I can say is WOW! Direct Shippers delivered her last night and even though I'm sick with some kind of crud, I took her out for a little spin. Warmed her up good, did a few short length roll ons, and man does that 1200 rock or what? It's got V&H pipes with the SE airbox and seems to really want to pull and pull. As for all this chatter about vibration, it seemed to settle down a lot when I got around 70-75. BEAUTIFUL day here in South Arkansas. Just wish I wasn't sick so I could really have some fun. Now somebody needs to help me figure out how to post pictures.

Ride to Live and Live to Ride,

Fackler Rebel
