I'm going to miss the clock, maybe you should order a GT as well. Congratulations! Keep the shinny side up while you're crossing the Gobe Desert :)

I see that they pack it with free tie downs, which will come in handy the first time you need to trailer it back to the shop. :D

Looks like fun, enjoy.

yea I'm thinkiing the stilts aren't a bad idea! I have not adjusted the spspension yet figure I will in FLorida this week, it will have about 1500 miles by the time I get here so they should be ready to set up

that or i need a 50 lb bag of lead on the bike!

It has a clock! in fact I ordered it with the computer,
so it has basically the same stuff as my LT
and a little more tripset I and II, Range left, MPG, MPH, clock, thermometer, Oil check it checks the level, I think the next bnike we are goingt to buy is going to be another GSA for the wife

... so it has basically the same stuff as my LT
and ...
<g>a lot more range, a lot more testostorne, and a lot more discomfort! I'm sure you'll suffer through it.;)

not much more discomfort, no wind to the upper body just the arms, I MUST bring the handle bars back though, they are too far forward for insterstate riding all day, 300 miles is max on the tank so far at highway speeds, ok a little further, but I took 8 gls at 310 miles and 8.2 at 285miles one time, there was a ton of wind today though headed north up I-75

oh yea the seat well it will most likely need to go :(

Think it will get better when you get it broken in? My GT is only getting 39mpg. Of course, I just can't stay out of that upper band for some really strange reason.
