Thanks for all the information. I will practice some on push starting and starting/shifting without a clutch. I will also check out the wiring for possible shorts, especially where I connected my saddlebag lights.
One other problem, one of those Duh! things, I was checking the oil and couldn't see any so I added. Still couldn't see any so I reached out and cleaned the glass off and Duh! now there's too much, I'll have to drain off some. Seems the glass catches dust off gravel roads and I couldn't see the oil that was there. At least it is a relief that it wasn't low after all. One of those simple, dumb things that could cause big problems, especially since the glass is so $#@%$#@ hard to see!

Been there, done that, NOT a fan of sight glasses for the oil, on any bike. Simplecureforthe over fill is a few inches of surgical tubing and a turkey baster. Looks funny, works great.

If you like the factory tools, fine, keep them. But, you're still going to need a toolbag with sockets, wrenches and hex keys. Ever try to pull the seat with the stock tools? You'll definitely appreciate a socket, extension and ratchet.  You should also carry money for a pay phone in your tool bag. Cellphones still don't work everywhere. I don't even own a cellphone anymore. A year's worth of bills for a phone that rarely got used? Cellphones are evil.

Also, join B.A.M. or a related orginization. Bro's club is a good one, if they haven't gone back to HD only. Both offer a member aid list of riders across the USA who'll help if you break-down, get in a wreck, etc. There's bound to be a European version of some sort. Call the club, they send someone out to help you. At little or no charge for the club or the services.

Pulling the seat is easy on mine at least. It has a phillips slot in the bolt head.  Grin
