    Just wanted to update this thread. First of all after 2600+ miles i am completely amazed at what this machine is able to do.
    Comfort- Russell Day Long you have had me as a customer for a few bikes now and your work is amazing. After my fist day 986 miles i stopped at a hotel and wound up being more comfortable sitting outside on my bike than sitting on the couch in the room. Thanks Russell.
    Suspension- while the B isnt a bad machine in stock form it just wasn't as good i knew it could be. I was constantly grinding my pegs and not using all of the rear tire (chicken strips). After a visit to Traxxion Dynamics (which was a very good experience) i am no longer grinding pegs everywhere and the chicken strips are gone. The bike holds its line better while leaning over in turns no more pushing. While on I 81 truck wind wasnt pushing me all over the road and while the suspension is much stiffer now the bumps all feel smoother. Also the light front end feeling is gone while at highway speeds. Thanks Traxxion for the smile on my face.
    Roads- I know most of you have driven in the Great Smokie mountains. For all you southern folk that call them local roads Im very jealous. I hit all the roads 53 mentioned plus alot more I cant wait to go back next year

    Yes. This is a magical place if you're a rider. There is nothing like it. Congrats on your upgrade.
