Greg,
Did you set it up w/ a single seat because it's a scary ride for a passenger ?  :o
How does she handle ?

my wife is my co pilot, most the time it has rear seat and back rest installed, self control is a must lol, with Car tire option on rear solo i can stand it up for about a block , Motorcycle tire will smoke thru 3rd gear and does not wheelie as easy , Dangerous with passenger on rear for keeping front end down..ribs hurt a little from wife punching me there ! But ..low CG Boxer motor puts all the heavy down Low and is perfectly balanced with counter rotating crankshaft to transmission makes even 100 lbs stock torque , This bike is known for prowling the Tail of the Dragon grinding pegs away, on the hwy it is a Cadillac Honda F6C Valkyrie Ride!!! It`s so much fun!!!
