She looks great, Guy does a great job, I got my pillion pad set up like yours from him. 

Enjoy!

El Rojo,

Nice!

Can we get a bigger pic of your saddle and pillion? The one you posted wouldn't enlarge for me.

I wish mine was 14 hours, I get my Military 7/26 (312 hours).  You right I'm 2 weeks away and its like Thanksgiving waitng for Christmas with a Sears christmas catalog in hand. Good Luck from Cypress Texas.

El Rojo,

I finally got that pic to enlarge.  Nice arrangement on pillion.

Jest

Glad it worked for you.  I was out all day riding the bike.  I out on about 100 miles today.  A few problems, but I got her home and everything looks good now.  Note to self: carry lots of tools and spares!

If you need better pics of how the pillion pad itself comes on and off, let me know.

I can already see that I am going to have an intimate relationship with this bike.  When she's happy she sings to me, tells we what she wants.  When shes unhappy, shes childish and throws tantrums.  I gave her a little love tonight and it looks like ill be riding again tomorrow!  This is easily the most fun I've ever had on a bike, I feel like T.E. Lawrence ripping around on his Brough Supoerior.

Aren't they great?

Enjoy. And bring your tools.

On that note, a search on the forum should bring up several threads on what tools to take with you. Good food for thought.

-Yes these bike can be difficult at times,  ::) but that is all in the part of ownership!
The best thing to do is to ride the dickens out of it so you learn what kind of quirks she has. Besides at 70 some mpg how can you beat that!
