Am I the only one that feels the distance between the foot peg and the 
shifter contact point is too short.  On my Trident I never noticed shifting 
to be painful.  The Sprint ST seems to shift better/easier but the position 
of the shifter on my boot seems to rub me foot raw as it rests too high up on 
the foot and 1) is on the soft leather of the boot 2) focus pressure in too 
small an area 3) not enough leverage.

Other complaints after 200 mi., hmm.. not sure I care for the fluffiness 
under 3,000 which I'm hoping will be cured by the soon to arrive pipe and 
tune.  True?

And it seems somewhat vauge in straight line mode, could be due to recent 
very windy conditions and tire break-in.  Other than that fuel gage seems to 
work well enough.  And the silly thing can fray the tire edges with 
remarkable ease and stability.

The Triumph tankbag seems a little, er, large but I think moving it forward 
as someone suggested should do the trick.  Tankbags still growing on me.

All in all though I think wer'e gonna be very close friends.  The seat..I 
can't believe the seat works so well, I've got Corbins on everthing else but 
don't think I'll need one here.

Would really like a helmet lock for my new Arai Phil Reed edition which I 
just *had* to buy.  Ok so I got carried away.
