Congratulations! Great color choice too!
Question... are you going to be home at the end of next April?? The NRA convention is coming to your Town and I plan on showing up. Who know; maybe a ride will break out!

That's a bummer about your shock... Fortunately it's an easy thing to fix; even if they shouldn't have had to!
I PMed you with my info.

Why am I thinking that she's going to not let you forget this for a while?? Too bad about the Harley; how bad is your hand??

bike broken in this weekend. it tracks straight

settings recommended by others are spot on

- front shocks at 5 max
- front tires at 18
- rear tires at 28
- shock at one less then max (RT-S Model)

now to get the 600 miles on to get the svc done and ride it normally after that ...
