Put the arrows on. Make a huge difference.

Fantastic bike. Big gas tank, great mileage, plenty of power, great looks...

Ride the bike for a while before you change the seat, bars or anything about the riding position.

But most of all - have fun. Very unique bike, I have not seen another one near where I live.

Switch to Arrow 3-1 or Arrow duals or any aftermarket dual can. (Forget the stock exhaust and the TOR's, as they are way too heavy). Re-map ECU with an aftermarket/arrow exhaust tune.

When you pick it up, ride it 100 miles and then flush the radiator and refill with Engine Ice.

Ride it 500 miles, then change the oil and filter.

Then on the second day, take of the stock tail fender set-up.

Have a great time and congrats!

Look out for the Ducati riders coveting your bike.

Dont be a wussy and thnk you have to follow break in to a "T". Dont be afraid to ride it hard. If your watching the tach your not having fun and being too gentle can hurt the engine.
