Hi everyone. I wanted to introduce myself and thank all of you for helping me make the decision to get the Factory instead of the R. I have been riding for 20+ years and I have never spent so much money on a bike, but I feel that this one is well worth it. Just picked this thing up the other week and actually had it out the other day (temp hit 50!). Going to tyr nad get it out in the next couple of weeks so I can get 600 miles in. I got some Leo Vince Hi-Mount Ti pipes for it and they are going to activate Map 2 for me and put on the 15t sprocket at the service.

What a beaut! I've owned my T for about 2 months now, and am just shy of 1K. I cored out the exhaust, switched maps, and put the 15 toother on. Such an awesome bike. This is a great forum and it will help you get the most out of your kick ass factory! Welcome....

Welcome on board! BTW, what car is that?

looks like a 67 mustang, I had a 67 firebird as my first car, wish I still had it!

congrats on the bike, it's an unreal ride, heavy winds today, it's no 6am and it's 50 degrees! but can't take the T as it might fall over in the wind, we don't want that.

check the thread by joe on the coolant hose, get it fixed before it cuts the hose, maybe the carbon cover is not so close.

Thanks esells. I checked on the hose and that cover is plastic and it is rubbing...i like the idea of a piece of hose on the edge

You'll habe to let me know. I lived in Anacortes when I was in the Navy and my ex still lives there. Beautiful place back then. Getting kinda busy now.
