I have to agree, this is one of the most fun bikes I've ever owned. I just wish I could get more time to ride, the last 2 weeks have been a total loss.
So far the only things I've changed are cutting off the "stinger" portion of the rear plate holder, adjust the brake and shifter down 1/4" (I like them lower than most bikes come delivered) dropping the front and rear preload (the rear is a *****) for more sag to help flat footing, tweak the damping and readjusting the handlebars (they were set too far forward from the dealer. If you look real close you'll see little dimples that indicate where the controls and riser position are supposed to be)
I love the power and the handling, the bike is an extension of your body. And the looks you get, priceless (easily as many as I get when I ride the V-Rod).
BTW, what break-in practices are most of you following? I can't deal with nor do I agree with the factory recommendations as printed on that sticker. I'm following what's in the owners manual which parallels more of what I normally do with new motors. Easy for the first 50 - 100 miles (under 4000 rpm), less easy from 100 - 500 (mostly under 7000 rpm, no WOT blasts and try to stay away from redline), change the oil then ride sensibly up to 1000 miles without any real worry about rpms.
