Looks mighty fine. I have gone back to a TC GSA from an LC. I much prefer the TC, and if the bars vibrate this can be largely eliminated with a hilltop remap. This has worked for me on both TCs. As other have said, get a set of Keihan headers and boy what a difference.
To my mind, the TC has something about it at gets under the skin that for me, the LC didn't connect in the same way. Enjoy and welcome to the forum.

Looks good, and that trolley thing is a good idea for moving the bike about in confined spaces.
Whats the story of the Keihan headers hadn't read into that...

The cougar paw headlamp protector is going straight on eBay though... 5 days to go...
Yep, that's the same setup I have...the difference between stock and how it is now is like night and day. The bike lifts the front on acceleration, not something it did before, smoother, better on the throttle, no snatch of old making low speed corners and town riding a joy....just love it.

I've had my 90th Anniversary GSA for 9months now and I absolutely love it - awesome bike - I'm sure you'll feel the same

I have the single cam with a power commander. Sorting out the fuelling makes the bike feel lighter and it even seems to handle better. Power the exact moment you need it makes all the difference.
Tomorrow guys, the bike will be delivered, I cannot wait! Insure, tax and off I go!

Enjoy.
My 2013 90th arrived today!
Well what a machine as it was rolled off the van, great colours and a great sound in standard trip.
I was insured and taxed before the delivery van left the driveway, off I went, it has been nearly a year since I've last ridden a bike and it came straight back to me, I'm very happy with it, I know I'm in the honeymoon period but it's great.
So far my issues...
The windscreen doesn't quite shield my lid (I'm 6ft 5in) so I guess an extender will be required if any one can recommend one.
When I received the bike it had a range of fuel for 260miles... 5miles later a hazard symbol popped up saying low fuel, could this be a fuel gauge issue?
But other than this a very punchy engine, as I've read in many places the weight disappears when moving and it certainly does, sadly back in work tomorrow so a longer ride will have to wait till next week

Fuel gauges have a bit of a mind of their own. Fill it all the way to the top, it takes about 35 litres from completely empty. Set the trip to zero and then see how the range to zero behaves itself. Mine takes some time to settle after a fill up but 5 miles down the road it starts telling something near the truth.

I am 6'2" and have the MRA Xscreen clamped to the top on my screen....significant improvement, visor up 90mph type stuff....highly recommended.

From memory the fuel strip was replaced with a float for your year , so should not be an issue , as said fill it up and sestet the odometer , see what happens .pick up my triple black this afternoon
I would suspect a serious case of evaporation between the supplier and your location. Computer has 260 in memory, restarted and it gets a very different signal from the tank sender. No proof of what went wrong of course.
