Honda CRF230L

Well, I may regret it (doubt it! ) but I went ahead and traded
for the 2008 (sold NEW in late 2014!!! ??? :-/ ) Honda CRF230L.
420 miles now on odometer. Speedometer has to be at least 10 MPH off because I was going " 55 " in a 45 MPH zone on the way to work this morning and was just keeping up with traffic. In some areas, that may sond normal. Not here. I swear we have a patroll car sitting every 1/2 mile in every direction you go in in Paris TN. :-/

I have rode this bike 3 times now before buying.
And have just a few things to sort out.
* Trail Tech digital speedometer / tach will be going on.
* Slightly larger and square mirrors.
* Another toolbox on the rear like I did with the WILL200,
but this time a bit shorter and wider I hope for.
* MUCH larger footpegs. Seems to be a common upgrade with these.
* Add a few LED light strips for better visability.
* Get burial plot and casket paid for before going home, as I ma sure my
loving wife is going to kill me for trading a 4th time in the same eyar!
Nothing else I want to change. Sprockets / gearing seems perfect. Did an INDICATED 70 MPH. I only need to go a true 55.
Suspension is near perfect. Just a wee bit stiff, but that can be good when the going gets rough.
I LIKE the quiet muffler. Very quiet.
