Make sure to clear-coat the flat black, otherwise it's hard to clean and doesn't look as good IMO

Oh, fuck yeah... My helmet is a disaster so I know how it can get... I've seen the newer Harley's and how their flat colors look after getting a bit shitty and it cleans up well. Depending on the budget factor, I might just bite the bullet and have someone do it for me. I can prep it and everything, but it's going to be hard for me to control the environment enough to get the paint to set up properly...

The rash! and the fact that I'm still at work because the insurance adjuster came this morning. Both of which will be remedied soon.

Other than that... Not much. The angle to the pegs hits me in the Achilles on a long slab ride. The fairing vibrates a bit, which is only really annoying at high idle. My bike is extraordinarily easy to do normal maintenance (until you have to do the valves).

Space. i want more space. I have a larger trunk than most bikes, but I still find myself with more stuff than will fit in the trunk. Hard Saddlebags would be awesome.

The tranny can be a little clunky but it just reminds me that I just shifted.

There are R/R problems with the 5th and 6th gens. Knock on wood I havnt had them.

Wish she had better looking wheels.
