Stopped Thinking About It. I'm Keepin the Seat

Finally brought it home. '04 R1150RT 63K Cee Bailey screen, Rick Mayer saddle, PIAA lights, Hyper Pro shocks, tank bag, bag liners, a couple of HJC helmets with intercom, new Dunlop Roadsmarts, relatively fresh service, new battery. Battery was in the side case so the first thing I got to do was strip off the LH tupperware. And since the LH was off, the RH came off also to have a look to see what might be ailing the fuel gauge. It won't register more than 2 bars. Less than two bars and the low fuel warning light work okay. I doesn't look like much can be done without pulling the tank. I'll figure that one out later.
I got a couple of hundred miles in the saddle bringing it home and found the Rich Mayer pretty comfortable. It could use a little reshaping but it's a keeper. Since then just a couple of trips to work and WOW, what a serene ride at speed. Back road antics are encouraging. All in all a really nice ride though I know it won't be long before I miss what the ZRX is good for.
