wow are you chill!
There is no way I could let that go if I knew who had hit me.
I'd be after some payback one way or the other.
I wish you all the best.

sorry that happened, but....
...always, ALWAYS, thoroughly pre-ride check a bike that has just had work done to it.
Your life depends on it.
Good luck with that, and you have my sympathies.

You can put aux fuel tanks on the GS, winglets, anything...
While you can lower a GSA if you're not Sasquach, you can't take the extra weight off of it.

Might be a cammer thing...
...after riding several pre-camhead bikes and owning a '12 camhead, I find the camhead has a high frequency buzz that the other oil-heads do not have.
Grip puppies worked for me.
