First Ride observations
#11
I think el duque wants more distance between the shift nob and the footpeg itself. Which means he would need a longer shift lever. Being a size 11-12 boot, I would also be interested in this.

Only my first 100 miles so my feelings about stuff may change.

The mirrors don't do it for me. I only see about 60% out of them. I might have another go at adjusting them.

Would have liked a bit more room between the shifter and foot peg
I really had to angle my foot down to get under it. I started a bad habit of just shifting with the side of my boot.

Seat started to get a little hard/not so comfy. Might spring for a sheepskin or a foam pad. Ya'll with corbins - Like/ no like?

I like the power. Its not crazy but there is plenty there for my sensibilities.

the little samurider fairing works great. wind but no buffeting. I was pleasantly surprised by this.

There are a few muscles that got a bit more action than they usually get.. I'm kinda sore/felt like I worked it today.

I need some foot pegs to attach to my sw motech engine guards so I can stretch out now and then.

It was cooler than I've ridden on a naked bike in a long time.
Heated grips/liners/vest are definitely in the offing.

I better get used to it... I sold my 83 Goldwing today.
