Regardless, it looks quite good. My three must have mods for any newbie motorcyclist on a street bike would definitely include some sort of extra height double bubble screen. Number 1 would be stomp grip on the tank because of the ability it gives you to isolate your upper body and number 2 would be Pazzos or some sort of customizable levers.

Do you have a mod list?

There is some kind of bad timing or misfiring going on. Happened after I replaced the starter motor. I checked everything I could without cracking the valve case/engines open.

So far, the dealership is stumped. I have a nagging feeling that a valve guide is out of whack, but the mechanic wants to make sure its not a fuel delivery issue. He's stopped charging me time on it at the moment for diagnosis. I don't have a garage :-(
