What color is that Slim of yours? I'm guessing... BLACK haha! I went to look for one in denim black but they didn't have any so I demoed a blue one and sure fell in love with that smooth thing. It's a real nice bike!

Wow! She looks great! Not sure how I missed those pictures yesterday before asking about it. How does that daymaker headlight work at night? Big difference?

I haven't ridden at night yet. However, I think it might need to be adjusted and I am unsure of how to do that as I am not seeing any adjustment screws anywhere....

Let me know how that goes once you get it figured out.
I hadn't intended on doing a whole lot of riding at night early on, but it took so long to take care of all the paperwork the day I bought mine (and being the middle of winter) that I had to ride home in the dark. Up the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. In rush hour traffic. First real ride on the road other than demos on a motorcycle.
Of course they told me they would deliver it (the next week!). But I said "Nope, she's going home with me."

It will be a few weeks. When the dealership installed all the black parts they decided to leave out the transmission fluid. Needless to say, they are now having to replace the clutch, sprocket, chain, chain tensioner and a whole bunch of other stuff. 7-10 business days before I get it back....not even 500 miles on it yet.....
