That's great news Justin, who is doing the assembly? I'm still waiting to be advised when mine will be ready, but it was on the same shipment as yours. This waiting is getting just too much!

Good news indeed. Hint from the previously startled, hang out near the road centreline whilst the brain gets used to a "motorcycle" being that wide.

This waiting is getting just too much! :-) Assembly by local dealer. I'm hearing you on the waiting, gonna be next week. Bloody long weekend! Okay, the weekends over. Am I pleased? You bet! It's pretty much what I expected in terms of quality, performance and VFM, so not disappointed. Must try harder to make better (quieter) gear changes though, heel and toe changes are a bugger! Stopped once today for a photo this arvo, took twenty minutes to get it started (UDF!). My two-cents - If you're waiting for one, it's worth the wait, even after seven months!

Well done !
The heel / toe thing will get easier, I played with spline position on mine and ended up back to std.
If the kickstarter gets in the way it is nit hard to remove, I did that and covered the spline in self fusing electrical tape.

Heel Changes - Pull the clutch all the way in and count to two. Press down forcefully. Release clutch. Helps to have your foot slightly out left on the peg. If you don't have the flexibility to rotate your ankle try Yoga. Great to hear you have the bike - enjoy

I dropped mine down one notch on the gear shift side. Size 13 feet and big toe on the Adventure boots.
