New for me SF-S is home

First thanks to many of and my friend flynbulldog chat on the phone, I pulled the trigger on the unique white SF-S.

It wasn't the best conditions, I just got home past midnight from - tight schedule this week so picked it up from Walnut Creek and rode it home to San Mateo (~50miles) in the cold. My hands were freezing and helmet fogging up but still had a blast riding home. Here it is resting in my garage with my FJR, 996 and Monster(which will soon be on sale). The last two are photos from daylight during my last visit to look at the bike.

My imminent mod list
- need a DP passenger seat - anyone want to sell yours or tarde for SF-S bike cover
- Need to get a spare key made - owner had only one key (yes have the code card)
- Frame sliders (before I go to a track)
- Investigate a Brutale bar and new seat
- See if I can drop the rear end a bit - don;t like jam your nuts sky high ass
- flyscreen to take a little blast off to help with commute
- Frameplugs
- Get DB killer inserts for the full termi system - anyone want to sell?

Ride report and experience this weekend

Awesome G. I hope you love it as much as I love mine.
Give yourself some time to get used to it. You need a week or two of good solid rides before you get a good feel for the bike.
Good luck!
