The nice thing about that is now you can adjust the air shocks accordingly.

Yeah first question I ask on adjusting the shocks, and I have to buy something from them, the pump is like $40, lol. You'd think with such a pricey bike they would throw that in.
Will start messing with the PSI when I get it to see what feels best.

The pump and manual are very good investments, read the owners manual, PSI changed in 09 shocks and lots of shops still adjust to 08 and earlier levels. Soos 1" floorboard extensions, stock up on Mr Clean erasers for the wide white walls, lovem but a PIA to keep clean. Get some Lyndal Z pads, will save you hours of wheel cleaning (can put them on at my house if ya need tools or help). Treat the leather on your bags with teh HD leather treatment now. Look at front tire make sure it is a D408 not a recalled 407.
Where are the pics, I like that color combo.
Dont worry you dont need a 103" 106" or a 124" motor,,,,, yet
You dont need a 2 into 1 pipe or some exhaust a little less honda sounding.

Hey, if you guys would learn how to do your own maintenance, you wouldn't be coming home with new bikes. Heeee heeee heeeee. Congratulations.
That little hand-pump is very important and if no one else has told you, NEVER use any sort of air compressor or other form of pump on your shocks. These little hand pumps are low-volume and good for dealing with that 45-60 PSI range. I know two guys who have blown-out their air shocks using the wrong stuff.
Enjoy the miles!

Extensions make a huge difference in comfort.
I bought two oackages of the Magic Erasers yesterday. Keeping those whitewalls clean is a huge PIA.
