Welcome aboard and congrats on the new rYde. I recommend reading through prior post there's a lot of good info and stuff here. And if you think of anything you want to know just ask. You are assured several responses.

Many thanks. Just going to take baby steps. Follow the traing as laid out in the manuel. Short trips. Thenmultiple rides. Even my buddies want in on the experience. We're going to set up the cone course and make a competition outta it. Some had their motorcycle license before their car license..lol

Battery Tender Jr.

Thanks to this site, I was able to hook up the pigtail for the Jr. without any issues. The diagram in the owners manual was sort of sketchy, but thanks to some of the posts on here, I was able to remove the panels and hook it up. Next I plan on a little mod to add my own designed to the opening on the right side panel, up by the foot brake..needs a little something to fill in that gap..hmmmmmm...

Welcome and many safe and happy miles!

First cruise

Today I went for the first cruise on my '08 RS. My buddy and I did about 40 miles. Mostly under posted 55 MPH roads. Very impressed with the low end as well as the handling. And having suffered a TBI in 2001, I was unsure that regaining the freedom of riding would be possible. It was a great experience. I plan on doing more miles in the months to come. I am hooked.

On a side note...I found an old thread and have decided on a few mods. One being a USB plug, probably this one http://www.burnsmoto.com/usb-power-socket-weatherproof.php.(Anyone have a set up like this?) Being I already have a Tender Jr. hooked up, it seems like the logical choice. Another will be either fabricated highway pegs or off the shelf ones. Just unsure as to style, so those will need more research.

Thanks to my Wife, I was able to come up with a way to display my placard and have some security

I used some plexiglass I already had, some small machine nuts and bolts, small pieces of vinyl hose to prevent cracking and a plastic coated master lock cable.

Update

Been riding nearly every day trying to get some miles in different road and traffic conditions. The 2008 RS is incredible. Really enjoy the freedom I figured was gone.
Today, after returning from a morning ride, I noticed the rear license plate light lens cover missing. The screw was tight and present. There was a small amount of plastic, which I figured was from the lens, between the screw and mounting tab. Searched on line and ordered the modified replacement which acts as a plate light and additional marker lamp. As per some posts regarding this, I will apply some RTV silicone in addition to the screw.

Keep on keeping on. Doctors know a lot, but not everything about the heart and soul of each person.
Thanks for sharing..safe riding.

Still Rt. 17. They have the signs up for I-86 but they are covered. Now & again you se a "future I-86" sign.
