I put the battery back in today, and apart from the cover giving me a little grief, it went okay.

After missing the Saturday morning biker TV shows I was determine to go for a ride. A few other riders out, mostly big hogs. It was a little cool, but the bike was riding very well. I have read other owners mentioning that the bike rides better in the mid to mid-high tach range, and I definitely found that to be true today. I think I have been having a tendency to "pile through the gears" too quickly. In fourth gear and I'm barely over 50 km. Today's ride was a lot nicer.

I still have to get it cleaned up and get the sissy bar re-attached. The headlight visor looks good, for $25 it was a good deal, and really adds to the "classic" look. The Yamaha version was almost triple that for a little Star stamp in the visor.
