Sleep? It's only 11:30pm. Time to crack open a bottle of Shiraz, put some cheese and a few crackers on a plate - and start watching TV. I have many hours of recorded programmes to get rid of. Tonight, it'll be a Jackie Chan movie.

When I looked at it online I was unsure about the color but in person it looks good.
I bought it sight unseen they had to go get it from another city.

You're definitely missing two big farkles....

1) Center Stand (pick your fav brand... I went with the SW-Motech stand)
2) Madstat windscreen bracket.



The Madstat bracket will be instantly useful as it allows you to adjust the windscreen to fit your height. It not only allows adjustment of the height, but also the angle of the windscreen.

Frame sliders! Had a tip-over in parking lot (R. foot slipped out on a sandy surface while stopped). Just a small scratch to the handguard.
Those and the centerstand have the most value for me. I have a madstad as well but I'm still searching for the sweet spot.
I also sprung for and a brand name magnetic oil drain plug. The crud it collects is interesting.
