    I've put right at 600 miles on it and so far I really like it. I got the Lust Racing lowering kit and it only lowered it 1 inch as measured at the taillight. It still helped some but wasn't quite what I was expecting. After doing some more searching it appears I could have achieved the same results by rotating the stock triangle pieces. I haven't messed with it yet but I'm wondering if I can't rotate the Lust Racing triangles and get a little more drop out of them. The bike sat the last couple years and I've been running Chevron Techron through it and it continues to run better but at really light throttle in 1st or 2nd its still a little jumpy. Otherwise it runs great and the fuel mileage is right around 50 mpg.

    I have the same thing. I've got about 2000 miles on mine in the last 6 weeks and getting pretty much the same gas mileage, and have the "jumpy" in first gear mostly. I just learned to be really careful with the throttle~

    First I would like to say welcome and I like the color.......
    I am a shorter rider so I bought Soupys adjustable lowering link and I love it. I had to do some minor mods to it because the stock one is just weak and broke. replaced the ends with heavy duty ones from the bearing services by my house and it is solid as a rock. I would suggest that you get both helibars and get your seat customized to you. both will help out a ton. I had my seat done with a layer of gel and memory foam. I also would suggest that you get a vista cruise throttle lock i love mine and it allows you to relieve the pressure on your right hand and maintain speeds for long rides.
