Congrats. When you get a chance, take a pic of the other side. I'd like to see what exhaust you have.
My fast gun came with a misaligned pin. Sending it back twice did not fix the problem. I bought a spare seat for the pin (very expensive but...
You should be able to find a suitable size muffler here: Aero Exhaust
Subaru has a dark cherry color, but probably not as dark as you want.
I saw the R1200c at the Javits center in NYC when it first came out in the late 90's and was seduced by its oddity. On BMW reliability: I had a...
Rather than an ignition switch, search for eastern beaver. Headlight relay fix. There are several alternatives for the same fix. Search is your...

BE aware that if you actually put anything on that Rivco rack it will eventually dent your rear fender, either from the rubber pads underneath...
A car weights 3K+ lbs, Rocket plus rider, well depends on mass of rider, but a lot less. The 28 psi lets the tire bend in the turns an conforms...
I am considering a tune by them soon, like maybe in the spring ;-) I have a set of predator pipes with a Tuneboy tune I got from Sam the man, back...
And that's the way I like it.
I like the dirt bike advice. I had a small one and learned shifting on that. If you drop it on dirt, you also have a better chance of not getting...
IF you are in 2nd gear and the bike is buzzing like hell, up shift into 3rd. You have to learn to listen to and feel the bike, grasshopper.
