I finally took it out for a "first" quick ride today.
I can't wait for nicer weather.

I installed my xbdashboard today. I like it.
Also..I don't know what people do with the empty hole when you remove your stock mirrors, but, I went to the hardware store and bought a couple plastic plugs.

[up], went for my first cruise this year as well, not my first but none the less first relaxing ride of the year.

For the mirrors either what you did or filling them in with black silicone both ways work just fine.

Yeah...I'm not into the whole salt and sand crap on the roads. Oh...potholes and puddles too.
"I love New York"...NOT!
My day will come.;)

there's a pothole around here that looks like it will eat my bike, mines still tucked away safely guarded by the harley, i'm glad you had fun shining i hope to be on the road sometime next week.

potholes are a bitch and a half on my road but the county roads around where i live are for the most part free of them and weve had so much rain lately salt isnt really an issue any more....just the rain and cold

Theres more pothole than road on the highways in NYC at this point. Snow plows in the winter rip out the pothole plugs from the summer... leaving bigger holes and those top layer gouge outs that aren't deep but string together and make the ride bumpy as hell.

I saw your bike at Ronnies before you sprung her. I will watch for you on Tracy Road (rt10, rt69, the Ap Gap?)as soon as mud season is over!

I bought her in Bennington, but live in Schenectady.
Another beautiful day today. Took advantage of it for a few hours. She looks like a dirt bike now. :(

My first was two weeks ago, put a big grin on my face... Only half hour though, hands started freezing.
Now that it's finally warm(er) i can't since i'm waiting for parts :-/
And Undisputed is right, there's more holes in NYC than road! Been on the BQE south after Kosciuszko bridge? goddamn!!!
