Took it out on its first run. topped out at 52 mph but wasn't very happy. So its mostly an in town rig.

Bit "shakey" at speed. The "Swivel" or "lean" just isn't very smooth. Noticed a zerk fitting on the back in the swivel area. gonna try pumping some grease into that and seeing if it helps.

Other, milder complaints, Its soft sprung and the dampening is just horrible, its LOUD, Rear breaks need to be adjusted and the front breaks don't seem very linear. Pull a little, it slows a little, pull a little more it slows a little more, pull a little more and it pitches forward on the soft sprung under dampened suspension and wiggles like mad.
Scary as hell if your not expecting it. Hoping that flushing/bleeding the front breaks and maybe some front fork seals will solve that.
