I got it back. The bike is easy to handle and turns much quicker. Front seems stiffer, but not harsh. Part of that is due to all new Honda bushings and fork oil, and part may be due to less travel.
Unfortunetely, there is a rubbing noise in the front wheel asembly, so it is going back at the first opportunity. I tried several hardish stops in case something needed to seat; no joy. This time I'm going to test drive it before I leave.
He replaced my rear pads and the rear pedal went up to normal height. He said the front pads were almost worn out, so I ordered a set and will have him install them on my next visit.
