That makes sense.

I was thinking about the plastic surrounding the guages, not the controls.

So the handlebars were loose... tightened them down... a-ok... noticed a fork seal's prolly blown out... no biggie...

I'll tell you what, I'm sorta diggin this little bike thing... First bike I've ever owned that I could literally pick up the ass end and move it easier than jockeying it into a small space... I mean, I *can* do it with the Tiller, but fuck that...
