The SuperScram is coming!

Well after one of the longest months, which even the purchase of my new Street Triple couldn't alieviate, my '06 Scrambler is finally back in one piece.
& it looks awesome!
The new pods won't allow the sidecovers to be fitted (without modification). So it looks as naked & aggressive as my Street.
I don't care, of course, I love that look!

I don't know if it's just because it's new & shiny, but the engine looks bigger & chunkier than before.
My mechanic's taken it for a test ride, & he say's the torque is really ramped up, & it throws you back in the seat, at just 1/4 throttle (HE can't wait till it's run in).

There's a couple of cosmetic issues being seen to today, & they're trying to source a clutch cover gasket, so they can fit the H/D clutch kit.
But I should get my hot little hands on it tomorrow.
I could probably get it today, but I think my mechanic wants a few more rides on it first.
Watch this space!
