So far so good, great handling on the twistys and great on bumps...haven't taken the bike off-road yet but flew over speedbumps and dips with no bottoming.

That hidden oil tank is the coolest thing I've seen on a sportster... I'm sure people are a bit confused looking at it. And welcome.

I don't see a battery or a kick starter, how do you start it?

The 4 cell lithium battery and the Moto Gadget M-Unit are hidden under the seat, there is a second 4 cell battery wired in parallel mounted under the oil tank...this combo spins the starter with little effort.

Awesome. My stock shocks bottom out whenever I ride 2up.
