Many Domo for reply!
I moved to FL. The deer were so prevalent where I lived that I hit two on motorcyles and one in a car. Got the message.
I didn't have ABS, no. I was looking at one spec site that listed 2008 dry but 2015 wet (doh). Reality 15 lbs heavier abs = abs, or 21 lbs heavier than my 2008. I don't expect an issue unless it all went up top
I don't remember the clutch...funny how you don't notice something until it's a problem. Boat propeller took off most of the hand, after replant only the one finger and thumb work.
Suppose I'd join a long chorus of 'why no cruise Kawasaki'. I did the ccs-100 on an FJR pre-Connie ownership, but with the Connie I just did O-ring. Works, I'd have thought with all the electronics in Gen II cruise would have come in..
Deer whistles.... I think they hear them, but they are going to jump any way they want to, making the devices useless.
