Ok-.. who copied me and shaved the black off the wheel edge? 
That is not how it came from the factory.
Welcome to the club.
If you want more inspiration (and about to change both visually and power increase again)-

Congratulations, WP.
That's a couple hours at most. Maybe someone at the dealership can be persuaded to put it in the back of their truck and deliver it on their day off for a couple hundred.

Thanks all. Have a friend willing to make the trip with me in his truck. Will have to rent a trailer. Exploring a few other options. May seek another Uship quote.

No side or center stand? Can you explain why?
Thanks

Much better to put the front wheel into a wheel chock and not use the side or centerstand , the bike will be much more stable . U Haul has special trailers for transporting bikes . Yes also use plenty of straps to keep the bike stable. I have seen enough bikes falling of trailers when they drive on the Interstates without enough straps .

Under the right conditions (or wrong conditions), the side stand could klink like a toothpick under the weight and duress of the trailered machine.

Get one of these from Harbor Freight for $70. You won't believe how many times you will use it and pat yourself on the back for spending that $70.

Nice find Wagonpeddler. Congrats!
I had to truck mine last year and contacted a few companies for the best price, read up on there websites too. Every one reminded me, don't do it. Why ? Bad experience and therefore the warning ! The rational ? When the truck goes through bigger bumps in the road the weight seen by the side- or main stand can go up significantly. Imagine the truck hits a curb (etc.), the m/c gets accelerated vertically with 4g (which ain't even much), the stand sees 4 times the weight it usually sees, or it's been designed for. Much worse accelerations are possible.Wagonpeddler_imp said:
Truck or trailer, enough pressure on the tires (on the high side), bike straight up, handle bar straight, and tie-downs as needed - check a few youtube videos if unsure.
