Well, the day came....finally. I picked my bike up yesterday at 3:30 from the dealer. By 5:30 I was on the road from Tampa to Orlando (2.5 hour trip) to hook up with Shawn, Luc, and Sam at the Orlando drag strip to watch Luc and Sam run. I was so stoked! The bike was running flawless. I had to fill up after 84 miles (Light came on) though. I thought these bikes got better mileage. Anyway, about 30 minutes from Orlando...poof....my speedo needle flicks to zero and stays there but the speedo remand illuminated, my tach goes completely out (no light, no nothin'), and I lost all rear lights (including brake). It was dark, so, thank god the headlight and front running lights stayed working. I got to the track, met Shawn and Ann, then went to watch Luc and Sam run. They did great. When they returned to the staging area, Shawn asked Sam about my light problem and what may have caused it. Turns out it was only a fuse. There was a spare in the fuse box, so easy fix. Sam rocks! Super nice guy! The next day, same fuse popped. Shawn looked under the rear fender, and there was the problem. The dealer installed my 240 kit, lowering kit (F&G), integrated tail light, and fender eliminator kit. Here's what happened. The big tire was rubbing on the wires for the LED lights in the plate frame, rubbed them clean in half by the time I got home. Thus causing a short. Seems no one thought (including me) about the need for a 1000 lb spring. I was bottoming out the whole trip. I got to the dealer today @ 3:30 (24 hours after picking it up...LOL) and they capped the plate light wires and got my lights working so I could ride this weekend. They ordered a 1000 lb spring that will be delivered Tuesday morning. Soooo, Tuesday morning at 10 AM my baby will be back at the dealer.....pouts, only for 2 hours though....lol. The bike runs great, Churh's VBAK and Akitadogs coil plates are great! I got the Krank vent installed as well. I had Shawn take it for a ride and listen to all the sucking and spitting going on....lol...it concerned me! Sorry so long!!!
