Picked up my SR this morning

Things I wish I knew ...
* The wrench needed to adjust the rear preload. I had an old Sachs wrench, but no dice. Googling ...
First things I did ...
* Drain the battery by max accelerating from every light between the dealer and my house
* Remove the SR designation ... it looks so much cleaner
Things I'm in the process of doing ...
* Swapping the red panels for black ones from an S. A set of panels from the factory are $100 and should be here next week.
* Getting a longer power cord and a timer to charge off peak
Things I'm pondering ...
* Rizoma grips/mirrors and brake reservoirs ... wondering how to disassemble that plastic throttle
* Whether to remove the storage container and throw it away ... the dealer mentioned that there could be a hard "tank case" coming ...
* Top case or not ... sticking with a backpack on the commute for now which should work given that it never rains here (in SoCal)
Things I'm thankful for ...
* The bike is made in America, but it still uses metric fasteners

* Getting a great deal on a demo bike that had 58 miles on it
