New SXS owner here. Been riding Honda motorcycles for years in the Idaho mountains & high desert. I always said "When I'm old and fat enough I'll get an SXS". Well here we are. I think I've made decent progress for only having for 3+ weeks. Had no idea you could spend so much $$$ bolting stuff on but I'm down the rabbit hole now. For once I'm getting more boxes delivered than my wife.

Installed up grades

Awesome, welcome here. You’ve got a beautiful place to ride. And yeah the money that can be spent is crazy. Don’t keep track….😂
Where’d you get the grip shifter knob?

So the shift knob is an Ebay cheapy.
Search "pistol grip shift knob" I didn't really have high hopes for it but now that it is installed I really like it. Had to cut the top flat part of the shift rod. And yes the Owyhee Front mountain range is Stellar...miles and miles of fast trails, rocks, hill climbs, sand washes you name it...

It is an Assault brand. I got the Seude version but kind of wish I got smooth leather instead. The column adapter to bolt up is from them as well.

I just put the exhaust on the day before yesterday and have not trail tested yet.
I fired up in the garage and the idle note is deep but not overwhelming loud. I have to go out of town this weekend so won't be able to drive it for a bit.

Good Day!

Got the Dirt Warrior rear windscreen installed.

First one was delivered cracked.

Dirt Warrior sent a UPS pick up tag, replaced glass and reshipped.

Excellent fit and finish.

Superb customer service....
