I have about 400 miles on it since I picked it up. Made a brake pedal extension to make it easier to get to the brake pedal. Factory design didn't allow me to be able to keep my heel on the floor boards while braking. I'll keep you guys posted as time and miles go on.
Well gang the Can Am went down the road. Just too much BS to deal with on these things. Alignment from the factory was way off, Sway bars suck, Shocks suck, Drive belt vibrates, Cast aluminum windshield braces fail, Security system is problematic (it craps out and you can't start the thing) (Google Can Am DESS problems) Dealer service sucks and factory customer service is a joke. Luckily I bought it only slightly used so I didn't take a big hit $$$ wise.

Found a new 2014 Honda CB1100 for a great deal so I'm back on 2 wheels. I still like the 3 wheel concept so I'll wait till Honda comes out with the Neowing that they are teasing us with.
