Thanks! It's now safe in my garage. Registered it today.

Immediate tasks are to swap race rubber for street tires and put blinkers back on so I can get it on the road. With luck I'll be able to ride it tomorrow.

Then the process of making it "mine" commences. It's got a Scott's steering damper on it, which required lifting the bars by a couple of inches. I really don't need a steering damper on the street so might take that off and get the bars back down a bit. We'll see. Got to ride it first, give it some time and see how I like it.

Ultimately I might do clip-ons because I'm one of those bizarre tortured souls who actually likes sporty ergos. That will require a headlight conversion because apparently there are interference issues with the stock headlight and instrument cluster.
