Bugger I think I may annoy the locals while warming the bike up early in the morning

That new controller is pretty cool and "clicks" on/off, so no need to hold buttons down.
I'm not totally sold on the knurling grips, but I guess I'll get use to them. Fitting the throttle grip was a bloody mission and required a stanley knife, file, P80-P180 sandpaper, lots of sanding and hair spray. The supplied glue was useless on that side and set before the grip was on two inches.
