First thing I did was to install some highway pegs. I put those on in the dealer parking lot as soon as they handed the keys over. Then I rode off into the sunset for a while.

First thing I do is remove the hideous reflectors.

Then I remove the heel shifter.

I knock the reflectors off. Prep the bike correctly (I don't trust dealer mechanics). Ride 500 miles to break it in. Then I void the f*** out of the warranty! If it doesn't have new pipes, cams, lifters, pushrods, and a tuner after the first week you better check my pulse.

Or ride next to a stainless steel tanker truck.

Remove heal shift, remove reflectors, remove all stickers and decals, and then I install the parts I usually have ready before the bike gets there. Grips, AC, Pipes, tuner, highway pegs, plate relocator, solo seat and bibs. Then as time goes on I refine it -boards, suspension lowering - wheels - etc.

No disrespect to anyone here that may be color blind and bought that bike, but oh man, I wouldn't ride that at any price.

Ride home, grab a beer & read the manual to figure out the security system & radio.
