An update since I last posted:
A month since ordering and the central fairing support finally showed up yesterday (12-14). I was originally told all parts were in country but the main piece had to come from Germany.
The bike is back together and everything is fine. Haven't ridden it yet, might get to do that later today or tomorrow and I don't expect to see anything out of the ordinary since I had to ride it 80-90 miles to get home after the "incident". Charged the battery and checked the tires and it's ready to go.
I didn't miss a whole lot of riding since the last month has been cold or wet or both.
One thing I did learn- the main fairings/headlights/center section can come off in one big piece after you get all the attaching parts off. And I like the way this bike is put together.
