Default Shark bite today!!

I took my beloved 2018 SG



For or a trip to the dealer today because I saw a bike this weekend I was interested in.



Its a 2019 with a few goodies and it was fantastic to ride.
The numbers just didn’t want to work out.
But...



they did on this 2020 quite in my favor.
I am now the proud new first owner of this 2020 RG and wow, what a difference.

Thank you! I’m very proud of it actually. It is my first brand new zero mile bike.
The lightness of the front end is amazing!

I got my front custom dynamics leds in and they’re fine, but the right rear turn signal doesn’t want to work. So the stockers stay in for the night.
They worked in my SG but obviously didn’t make the transition so well I guess.

Die-electric grease got in the socket by any chance?

Yeah, I noticed when I installed my CD's they put grease in the light sockets at the factory. LED's don't like that stuff so I wiped it all off before installing the new lights.
