There's so much awesomeness in that pic that my screen melted a little.    


Post us up some riding impressions, eh?  

Thanks!

It definitely is a fun bike! I have logged almost 4k miles since I got it towards the end of July. The bike has been flawless so far. I have only done one "trip" on the bike where I logged 7-800 miles in a weekend. I am still working on a rear rack that will replace the pillion seat delete. When I get it done I will post some pictures of the complete touring set up. I have switched out the clip ons for some woodcraft units. The bar angle is much flatter providing a more comfortable ride. I haven't had any discomfort with the stock seat yet but we will see what happens next spring on my annual week long (2500 miles) trip. Fuel mileage has been great compared to many of the reports I have read. I average around 35mpg combined in town/ hwy/ back roads. With the instant mpg indicator (not sure of accuracy) I have seen as high as 43mpg at a steady 70mph in 6th gear. I did drop one tooth on the front sprocket as the stock gearing was very tall. It did not seem to negatively affect my fuel economy though. I can easily get 130 miles to a tank so the fuel range is not a concern like I thought it might be. I like to stop every 100 miles or so to grab a gatorade or something anyway. So far, so good!!
