Thanks for the welcome! Considering a few mods (pulley, tune) down the road but for now just getting used to the Beast - the torque is quite addicting!

No parachute on this free fall...

TFHC...One thing you can do that won't cost too much is getting the orange reflectors replaced with either color matched or clear versions.

AMGfan - thanks for the tip on the reflectors. Now that you have pointed them out, they really seem to stick out! Any recommended stores to get the clear replacements or should I just check on eBay? Thanks again.

Evosport has them (sponsor on the board) and I believe ebay may have them too.
