Very nice!
Is Blue more powerful the the Valk? Smoother? What would you say stands out as big differences between the two?
I haven't ridden any of the newer Honda big bikes, sorry for all the questions..

there is noticeably more power in the V1800. It's a rocket ship. |

I need to adjust the gear lever so I can get my Bates boot under it. At the moment I'm using the edge / sole of the boot. It's Chewing It Up. Apart from that all I have to do is remember to lift my feet higher to the foot pegs. I think I'll get some plates made so I can drop the pegs about an inch. I don't think that will have any effect on ground clearance, there's plenty of it. |

I bought some Kuryakyn mini premium floorboards. Those are adjustable and should give me the toe room I need under the gear lever. |

They were a Goldwing product, put were a perfect fit. |
