          Hi ya, Chandler.
          Bike looks good.
          Do you have the specs on the jetting used when you swapped to the pods?

              Welcome from another owner of the same bike. I hope yours has fewer electrical gremlins than mine does. Overall, it is a very good looking bike.

                      Black color always looks more attractive. You got a nice bike

                          That's great looking bike. The black paint is really fine. Of course if you'd painted it red it would be 5 MPH faster. Thanks for posting.
