Those things seem kind of dangerous if you're signaling a turn with your hand and then need to get it back in there in a hurry to grab the brakes.  Why not just use gloves?  I've been commuting on a vintage moped the last 13 years and even a thin pair of leather gloves is plenty warm at 30mph as long as it's not below 35f.

They were great answering my questions before I bought my bike, they even sent a follow up survey about my interactions.  Since buying, I didn't get any replies to the questions I sent them, and then I found this forum and got some help here. 
Thanks, RadOwners.

thanks for the reply,
I ended up moving it so it lined up right, the mount on bottom was actually pretty loose. No oil leaked, if there is any in there at all.

Not sure you'd want to raise the center console unless you're tall, I'm 6'1" and it's not too easy to swing my leg over it.  I guess you could swing your leg over the back if you're not going to have a rack or child seat on there.  You'd have to drill new holes in the console to line up with mounts on the frame, and use some kind of spacer under the bottom.   You can change the bars, but you'll have the extra long wiring harness to deal with, I don't know why they made them so long, it's my least favorite thing about the bike.

Hello,
Just finishing up assembly of the Rad Runner Plus, and I noticed something odd.   The front fender mounting point at the bottom of the fork on the right side is angled back towards the rear of the bike, while the left side mount is parallel to the axle.  Is this on purpose for clearance of the brakes, or did it maybe get turned a bit in transit?  Just wanted to check before I torque it down.

I saw the fender mounts are bolted into the fork bottom, but they look just like oil drain bolts for motorcycle forks, are the forks hydraulic oil filled?  I didn't want to loosen it and end up with oil all over the floor.

thanks
