 As of yesterday 500 miles on the rig now. It had 490 miles on it when sidecar was mounted. Hit the 1,000 mile mark out riding with Payton in it.

With the RDRS traction control On.  In  Rain mode or Off no issues yet. I have tried my best to make it shut down in a curve It has not happened. And I have pushed it beyond what would ever happen in normal riding.

One Code it did throw would happen with or with a sidecar P0503  Vehicle Speed high. It was caused by wet grass and mud. Rear wheel spinning and front wheel not moving. Cleared code and that was the end of it.

As for Rake. I did not rake the tree yet. I wanted to try it without. The 2017 that tugged the sidecar and the 2020 on it now are pretty much the same bike other that the RDRS system. The 2017 had a 6 degrees rake and 1 3/4 inch longer tubes

  It does steer a little bit heavier. But not bad. No shakes like you find in small lighter rigs. No steering dampener installed yet. Another thing I wanted to try without next I will likely install one anyway.

 Looking good, I had someone flop over the other day to my surprise it did not turn off way laying on it side, it didn't ever set any light on. I had to turn it off pick it up fired right back up. I guess something work what it was suppose to do.  Thanks for posting the pictures of Hannigans collection he sure does have some nice stuff.
