Shakedown ride. Runs great. Super comfortable. Could stop a little quicker, but it's 1000 lbs and older than most on the road. I was able to get my emergency braking to the point of making the front bark, bark, bark... until it stopped. That's all the brakes the Dunlops can handle in the dry without a pillion. Will be a learning curve coming from the new Wing and the BMW. Adjusted throttle cable slack after the test ride and found out I could raise the windshield even higher than I thought. All quirks remedied. Still, a super nice bike and am happy with the overall ride. I even ordered a retrofit kit to turn the cornering lights into LED driving lights. Should be here in a couple days.

Nice upgrade, @mello dude. I wont have this bike long enough to worry about the belts and pulleys again, but I appreciate the offer. This bike is a stop gap that will likely last a year or two for us before we're back onto a 2018+ model.

A tip for your Oldwing there, I initially made these for my Valkyrie, but since the wing is the same engine... (Sold a bunch to the Valk guys.) When you get to the point of replacing the pulley bearings, using a Hyundai part plus the SS plate is a better way to go, plus way less expensive.... - some guys just cut the OEM bearing off the stock plate.
