Well, my Templar arrived last night, without a single bit of shipping damage. The only part I found missing was the rubber plug that covers the end of the swingarm mounting hardware on the right side of the frame. In the process of going thru the bike checking/Loctiting fasteners, checking wire routing, and spraying Fluid Film in all the non weatherpack connectors. Hope to be able to fire it up this weekend and give it the first oil change.

They're now shipping the left rear side panel loose to prevent the damage seen on some bikes from the front wheel brake rotor hitting it during transit.

I got it loose from the shipping crate, reinstalled the front axle into the forks and horsed the beast into the house and parked it on my lift to do the final checkout and assembly. No way I'm gonna deal with that in a 100+ degree garage, when I can sit in air conditioned comfort in the house.
