Relocated my front turn signals, replaced the headlight with a JW Speaker Evolution 2 light, and changed out the turn signal lights with custom dynamics LEDs ... Will finish rewiring the front signals tomorrow....

Added a right side mirror and replaced the voltage regulator. Did a test run and all looks OK.

Thank You. My son did the assembly and most of the touches, I've refined a few things. I still haven't 100% bought into the grips as they are fading, but I will remain true to more vintage ones if I ever change them.

I spent hours reading up, and the actual adjustment took all of 90 seconds. God, I love this bike!

2016 - First stop should have been the dealer. That's the only time I would suggest it, but your bike is NEW. If it's not better ride straight to the dealer.... There are 3 or 4 things it could be. (Shoot me if I'm wrong - Free play is so the clutch is fully disengaged { not Slipping } don't think it will help the shift)

Raining like Hell - SO - I had a fluid change and polish party in the shop. After lunch I'll probably drop the rear wheel and put a rear pulley Chrome Bolt set on. Hate the rain, but getting things done.
