721 Miles!
I hit 721 miles this past sunday and brought the bike to the shop for its first scheduled maintenance. I also had new grips installed by the dealer. I went with the Kuryakyn ISO grips and a throttle boss. I noticed a difference right away. I am not sure if I will need to add handle bar weights but time will tell. The stock grips do have handlebar weights so I may have to add them sooner than later. I also added engine guards and high way pegs. I purchased the show chrome bars and Kuryaking pegs from here. The price was right the reviews were great and they bolted on quickly. I made sure to use loctite to keep the bars secure. As for the pegs I went with adjustable pegs. I set up 3 different configurations to get comfortable. Now I have them low just off the footboards. I plan on a long ride this weekend so this will be a good test. Up to this point I have not had the bike above 60 mph. Keeping with in the breaking recommendations. However after I picked it up today I did open it up to about 70 mph.
Most of the 700 miles has been from my house to the beach. I am fortunate to live near the Jersey shore so traveling to Sandy hook and then south is a nice ride with some great scenery. It is also all back roads to the beach through small towns so I was not able to open up the throttle. That will change this weekend. I am off to the parkway to go further south. More later.
