First thing was to add an extended brake pedal tip. Stock is DAMN near useless.
Next is bar risers. I usually put these on all my bikes, I have short arms. My junk is all up on the tank, so an extra inch rise on the bars should help. I'd like to do Rox risers with the vibration dampening, but they will have to wait.
I need a decent tail bag. Just to carry little crap like tire plug kit, inflators, etc when I don't have the cases on. Any ideas?
Electrics- it has the din? plug thingy. It looks like it is a Powerlet brand, so maybe more than 5 amps? I'm not sure how to tell. I heard oem was 5 amps and would not run heated gear?
The battery has a spare plug in, actually clipped on top of the battery, that is supposed to be for OEM gps. I ordered a connector and will see if that is the case.
I like the canbus setups from Hex and Denali- but I can't see a connection for it on this bike . More research needed.
Tires- I'll probably get a set of TKC 80s. I like them and have had them on other bikes.
Need engine bars and bash plate, lights. They will come later. Maybe taller wind screen.
Bike has nice power, I need to remember to keep revs up. I keep trying to lug it and that doesn't work to well.
Front forks are so/so, that's known issue with fixes available.
Been nice riding weather.
