Shane,

Very nice. Now I'm all envious. (Jealous, actually... :D )

I just noticed, the skid plate protects feet! That's very cool.

I really enjoyed my Tiger 1050. As you know, the engine on the big triples is sooooo smooth you can get into high velocity mode and not be fully aware of the speed -- I assume this bigger triple is even more so. I have a couple questions -- is there a DC power outlet in the dash area? Is it cigarette-lighter diameter or something else? Heated grips? How do you like the electronic throttle? I'm waiting for Fred Triumph to get one in to look at. Scott

Yes it has a triumph/bmw style outlet at the front of the tank. I think heated grips are a option. The throttle took a few miles to get use too. The cruise control is pretty nice.
