While I am reading through this giant thread (now on page 2110 of 369...), I have a couple questions. 1.Has anyone bought one of these and shipped and licensed it in Hawaii? 2.Has anyone bought the newer version that now comes with a "peanut" gas tank? I'm wondering if they went to a better mount that won't cause the gas tank leaks the older design had. 3.I have only read of two cases where the sealed spoke wheels had a leak so far. One owner got a new wheel under warranty. The other had a shop install an inner tube. These types of wheels are a pretty new development to motorcycles, and I would worry about leaks. Anyone else had problems with these? One owner (the one that got a warranty new wheel) said he was told they couldn't install an inner tube, as the wheels are designed for tubeless tires. But the other owner had a shop install a tube. Who is right here? Can you or can't you install an inner tube in these wheels? The existence of this forum is a HUGE incentive to buy one of these bikes. The new model has, I hope, a new gas tank with better mounts. And, it has bars I prefer over the older ones. Price is down to $2069.95 at Powersportsmax.com. I just need to get a shipping price and decide whether I want one of these or not. I like that it has an easy to work on push rod engine, and that everything is pretty out in the open with easy access. I don't like having no kick starter or centerstand. I don't like sealed tubeless spoke wheels. I wish it was geared higher from the factory, but have no problem replacing the rear sprocket. I like that it has very little chrome. Chrome and the rainy Puna District of Hawaii do not go together well. We have lots of beautiful sunny weather, but it rains most nights, and some days, and the word "hard" doesn't describe the sometimes downpours. As in, you cannot drive in it. I'd rather have no chrome, than a cheaper quality chrome that will rust.
