Mine arrived
- partially assembled. It shipped strapped down in a custom crate - had to install mirrors, windscreen and top case (though I might go looking into the larger travel trunk that folks seem fond about).
Be careful while unstrapping - I made sure the kickstand would land on a board on the pallet, but even so, when the tie down was released and weight shifted to the kickstand, the kickstand broke through the pallet and we were not able to arrest its fall so my poor bike has battle wounds already
(some scuffs on the guards and left pannier) - anyone know if these guards are going to rust? If so I'm open to paint recommendations to do some touch up work :P
