Pulled mine out of storage last Saturday. The first ride was a bit wierd as well. Had Forwards installed over the winter. Sitting at the first light, i went to engage 1st gear and swung my foot into open space where the shifter used to be.

Took a few miles to get comfy with it, but I'm definitely pleased with the decision.

Drop a set of +2 forwards on my Iron. Much more comfortable.
