Just drove back from Cal Moto in Livermore CA, great experience overall, the passenger side fender was scuffed during the shipping process and I will get an replacement in the mail. You definitely need some head covering because the short windshield is too short, I couldn’t feel the top half of my head for a while, gonna take it out for a night ride and see how the headlights are!

Did about 90 miles today, night ride was fine, visibility was good, I did notice some grease dripping under the left engine compartment, gonna call the dealer tomorrow and ask about it, over all the fit and finish is just okay, not bad for a hand built vehicle. I got the bump shifter, had some issues with gear selector not wanting to go into manual mode, hopefully it’s because it brand new, gonna try to daily this in the summer time, got a NRG steering quick release coming this weekend.

Tomorrow BLM marching here in our small town. Many of us will open carry and let them know there will not be violence here.

Sorry I just thought it would be safer with a ccw in an attention grabbing auto cycle. Update on the grease, took the hood off trying to see if the inner clamp is loose, didn’t look it, the boot itself doesn’t look torn, and I couldn’t feel any tears in the rubber. I did figure out my hood firmest is extremely off, and the tow bolts closest to you on both sides are the short ones, they are basically just pinned into the holes! They are not seated into anything, and after getting the other six bolts back in, I can’t get these back in because now the holes don’t line up...lol, still the best 30k I spent tho haha, this thing should be on a truck back to the dealers Saturday, we shall see how long until I get it back!

Hope you are back on the road soon. I know personally how frustrating it is to have it in the shop with no estimate of repair time and uncertain as to the problem. Still, great fun to drive!

It sure seems the factory is dropping the ball on final inspection. Dealers also have a role in this, they should fully inspect the vehicle prior to delivery.
