Well I finally picked her up today and drove it home. Put on 310 miles and I couldn't be happier, however I did notice some things of concern. Noticed some oil seeping through the valve cover gasket and the gasket looks to be slipping out and the brake fluids are low on both reservoirs, the other is the grips are worn to the end and need replacing. I also noticed when shifting from 4th to 5th I feel some feedback on my toes like it kicks back, it doesn't struggle to go in it just hits my toes after in goes in is this normal on the rockets? Should I be concerned?
It's my mistake for not checking fluids before. I was just too excited and it was so clean I just signed and drove away.
The drive home was amazing, the Power and drive are better than I expected. Love the thing already, looking forward to many years of ownership.
Here's the pictures of it.
This one specific bike used to belong to a member here so some may be familiar to the bike. @frkmbolin

I am happy that you have your new to you new bike.
Now the brake fluid can be filled up and keep an eye open for leaks.
The cam cover gasket can be replaced to fix the leak.
Now on that transmission (problem?)
They had a problem of jamming the gears together in 4 forth breaking gears and even worse locking the gears so locking rear tire.
I would be afraid of that bike but maybe you will get more opinions.
