The Wait is Over!

Per the CSC Blog:

Good news for all you folks who have been patiently waiting on your new RX3 motorcycles…the EPA has released the bikes from their temporary hold at the port in Los Angeles. The Feds checked them out and, not surprisingly, they found the bikes met all requirements. The 2016 RX3s start arriving at the CSC plant on Monday.
Please don’t bombard us with phone calls…all hands are on deck and we’ll call you as soon as your bikes are ready.

Thanks for your note Tiger - hoping I won't have to go the lowering link route as I am a technical off-road rider and don't want to sacrifice travel whatsoever. We'll see as sounds like I may see the bike before April 15th!! Will be sure to keep everyone posted on how the bike fits/rides once I do receive it.

Great news on your RX3 leaving customs.

The lowering link did not reduce travel however it does change ground clearance by an 1" or so. The spring load changes travel as the spring moves up the shock the shock height gets shorter allowing the shock to bottom out sooner.

Awesome news I am jealous your getting a brand new Silver 2016 RX3 I love that new color and the Adventure decals are way nicer.

If you get everything together in time, interested in riding down my way to look at some old bikes? http://www.bsaocnc.org/
Would be nice to have another Cyclone parked with mine.

Absolutely gents - there will be a plethora of photos and video taken of the uncrating ceremony. I will have some very close friends and esteemed industry experts in attendance as well to kick the tires once Rex is outta the box!

Mine shipped yesterday! I probably won't be able to uncrate it until the 17th. That's the day I get clearance from my surgeon to walk (limited amounts) again.
P.S....broken legs really suck.
