Put a deposit on an incoming Red 2023.

These things are definitely unicorns around here. Five different dealers had a few on order with MANY people on the waiting list if the person that had their name on it backed out.

Finally walked into the last local dealer that I hadn't called yet and they had 3 coming, and only 2 had been spoken for.
TAKE MY MONKEY MONEY PLEASE!!

Mirror extenders.
You can find some cheaper but nothing says monkey like these extenders.

Found some adjustable leavers in red. Love the look.

If you by chance go this route, the screw on the clutch side is really tight. I tapped on the bottom with the nut loose and that helped. The other concern to keep in mind is that the OE clutch leaver have a little bump on the inside that pushes in the clutch switch. This is so you can start the bike in gear when the clutch is pulled. I used a mini fuse on the two blade connectors to the switch and pushed them in the rubber boot and mounted the rubber cover as shown.
Brake side, no drama.

Wow I literally just ordered those same mirror extenders last night. 🙃

Tail tidy installed. I used the stock license light as shown. The tail tidy is resting on the light housing but it feels sturdy.
If the this gives me trouble, I'll take it out of the black holder, silicone the circuit board and try it again.

Looks good.
I figured I'll likely never ride the Monkey in the dark. That's how I justified going without.

Actually there is some lighting from the taillight. Plus headlights from cars behind will light it up even more since it's reflective paint.

Nelson Rigg tank and tail bags arrived. Time for some touring. 😁
