The box was barely taller than the unit.
I sent the the same pictures of the unit and they were quite apologetic, I hope they have a talk with shipping …
Indeed, when Scott sent his in an ABS box, they at least used his packaging.
PS: I did send Leo (my contact) at Carmo the pictures and expressed my disappointment and the damage suffered In transit.

On the trickle charger overnight now it read : 12.95
First startup at Idle : voltage reads 13.45 ( normal ?)

...operation of the bike almost make me think about going hunting for an Older V7 without all the Electronic Geegaws :( .
Or look at getting this one *Converted* to a more basic version ?

Thank you very much John.
Mine is a 2017 V7 III - same battery since I’ve had the bike. ( before 2020 )
That doesn’t mean I’m safe, only that I might be affected by a Later issue.
I’ll check for any ECU codes and charging voltage with no 5amp fuse… ( to « protect » cluster for the same thing...
So it took me ForeEver to send the unit off ..

It is « My » retirement :rofl:
That being said - As chief cook and bottle washer, She gets No Retirement, so I will do my best to takeover whatever tasks she sees fit to entrust me with :wasntme:

Fall is out there…
Stopped by the shop / friends place that built my tank on the Honda
He has some project cars out front…
looks like a great get together…

So being vertically challenged might be one aspect you’ll need to learn to deal with on a taller bike :p
As was...
Looks like a great trip !
If the bike is « old » there might be updated firmware (flash) but no custom engine tuning from the dealers
( Other than what The shop that manages this site can provide )
