Jeff, I've had it for 2 months now but haven't ridden it that much, only 500 miles or so, mostly due to working my butt off getting my fall production out the door, but also cleaning up what 2 PO's ago did to the bike.

will post some pics tomorrow.

can you do me a favor? what does the gap between the choke and the multiswitch look like? it is perfectly straight? can you feel the detents in the choke?

This bike was down on the left side but the bar looks straight. I've got a brand new multiswitch, choke control and handle-M/C installed. the multiswitch is located by a pin in a hole in the bar, the choke is located by 2 screws that go into the M/C body. On mine, the choke is skewed a little so that it hits the switch when opened up and it's not a healthy feeling, just super snug that cancels out the detent feeling. I'm thinking I need a new left side bar.

what does yours look like, feel like?

Even though I'm a total noob, I know what you mean. the Honda I started out on you had to drive. This bike is all about feel. it reminds me a lot of my rowing days where even pushing tiny amounts of weight around in a boat had significant consequences.

every time I get on I'm instantly in a better place, much like my old 84 Targa.
