You got touch up paint with your bike kit? I feel so left out. Just a grey plastic bag with a few tools and an owners manual entirely in french is all I got with the bike.

Yes.  I got a can of spray touch up and a spare set of cables as well as the tools, a couple of spare tubes for the tires and a handful of reflectors that I didn't put on the bike.  They even put a set of battery tender leads on for me at no charge.
Don't feel bad though Desi.  You got the bike.  That's what really matters.

I thought the "lowered dog" comment was funny.....

Howdy Caseman
The muffler is a little louder but not offensive and only then when you get on it some as far as for the rider it just purrs pretty like.and no you don't need to worry bout your fuel injection it compensates for the change. the paint in the lettering was done by me with a paint pen (kinda like a magic marker only has paint inside) if you get outta the lines ffff steel or brass wool takes it right off no biggie.  bittercrick

Hello Caseman,
       I used red fingernail polish ( Revlon ! ) to do my G5 Deluxe cases. It works great and it is easy to clean up with a Q tip and some acetone. You'll have a great selection of colors.

I got nothing from the dealer. Not even an owners manual.

The dealers are all different in what they give. Mine gave me the owners manual. I asked him about the cables and tubes, and he said he'd be glad to keep them for me. I did n't argue with him, but it's still on The "he owes me" list.
