Thanks Goldoxide and LoneRanger. I did ride the Monkey at the dealership for about 15 minutes, and did note the extra play in the linkage ( compared to my CB ). Since the Mod I posted is inexpensive, I will probably do it. I dont really care for the rear fender extension, so I will do the eliminator kit, now that I know I dont have to cut the OEM harness to get the plug which I never would have done. Yes, top speed will be limited, but then for what I intend to use it for it does not matter. Fun factor and comparing to back in the day on my suzuki...priceless.
The ABS would have been nice to have had they been front and back, but LoneRanger hit the nail on the head about not sweating that. Mainly, I just wanted to get some of the stuff I discovered out there, so that members already owning, or considering adding this little bike will have some options to play with if interested. If the blue is as nice in the flesh as it looks in the pictures, I will be a very happy camper. I read that the 2020s had been released in Japan this month ( July ) so I am hoping that what I had also read about an October release here in the U.S. is accurate.
