Went and picked her up last week, it was kind of awkward that it was sitting right next to a YZ450F dirt bike though (that’s what I was on when I was paralyzed 7 years ago) :)

Finished the Hand brake and put on some floor boards and will start the fab work on the wheelchair mount for a non folding chair off the back this weekend. I'll be sure to post pictures along the way.

Also its the black and silver one but I may be swapping out the body panels for the Flat Black so my body is for sale, the bike not me :)

Any thing I should know about my 09?
So excited to be in the wind again

So glad you can "get back in the wind"?..
If you do a search here you will find at least 1 other person on this site who haul a chair. He might be a good informational resource

Have fun

:agree: he's the man! Also, check if you have the latest generation DPS and all the other updates (a BRP dealer can do that via BossWeb).

Lancaster isn't too far from where I am at and I get over to Santa Clarita every now and then too. There is so much knowledge here on this board, and the best part is the search engine. Dang man I am excited for you to be back in the wind!

Look forward to ryding with you.:doorag:
