Just a few quick observations.
Prior to buying the ranger, I had only seen pictures of the bike and I wasn't really thrilled with the black frame. The bike looks a lot better than the pictures, the black frame seems to have a small tint of grey as well.The white plastic looks good and fits very well.
The build quality is excellent. I love my 2011 gasser but some of the odds and ends could be quirky but the fit and finish of the ranger is first rate. The airbox is excellent and has no tools access, you just pull the side panel off and the filter is right there. On the my 2011, you had to pull the seat, reach under the battery box and search for the rod that holds the filter, then on reinstall line up that darn rod with very little space to move around.
As you can see from the photo, you can yank off the side panel and pull off the filter in just a few seconds.
