So I am going to work today and the damn shift lever just fell off. I pulled over, screwed it back into the rear set, used the 17mm wrench that is in the factory tool kit and went on my way. It came out 3 times in the 80 miles to work. Went to Oreilly's got blue Threadloc and fixed it. When I got home I disassemble that part to make sure that it was all tight and everything.

BTW first 200 miles on the Avons. I love them. They grip well and turn in a little faster that the Battleax's. I took pictures at zero miles. I am going to take pictures every 500 miles and post em up about every 1500 or so.
