nice ride anyway, bet you can't wait to get it on the road.
the bike's vin # reflects a 96" and i am not going to say a word to the insurance co. I will however insure it with about 10k in additional coverage for parts and accessories, that way in the event of a loss due to theft or accident, I'll get more that my actual cash value

very interested in the operational manners of the 120R. Is it choppy at idle? How easy does it handle rolling around thru town or parking lot at idle speed?

It will be a while for that. bike is not complete yet and I dont think the exhaust has even been ordered. the plan is to load a limp around map and put it on the dyno for a minute to see if it is ok to ride and then let me break it in. Wont due a complete tune for 500 miles or so. Knowing me, if I pick it up the first nice Sat morning in March, I'll have her back to the shop and on the dyno Monday
