Added windshield, grips, and cruise control. Be forewarned the cruise control has only one part number and when install that part eliminates the ability to turn off the driving lights

what isfunny thought is looking at the parts diagram it shows the part with the proper left tun/spotlight rocker switch and it is referenced as number 9. Then when you go to the listing there is no number 9

I have dealer fitted cruise in my 19 Deluxe. That works the passing lamps fine and has the little symbol on the button.

But I’m sure I read somewhere that the actual rocker needs changing over from the old switch pack to the new and not all dealers seem to read the fitment directions.......

Installed 3 of them myself this year, the new rocker switch is the cruise control so it needs to be changed al the time or you wont have the cc. The activation in the
ecu can be done without installing the new switch but then there is no way to activate the cc while driving.

Just received my Ohlins front & rear suspension! Can’t wait to get it installed, but will probably only do the rear myself.

The rear is easy. The fronts also, but a bit more intimidating. I swapped my front sliders for black, so essentially the same job. All you really need is an impact gun to break the bottom bolt out, I used a cheap 1/2” Ryobi, which has come in handy for several different jobs.

I never disassembled a fork before, and was apprehensive as hell, but after watching a few videos, I decided to give it a shot, Glad I did. Now if I ever decide to get those NIX22’s, I won’t hesitate to install them myself.

Good luck!

Nice! Definitely an upgrade I want to make some day. Maybe I'll add that to my 2020 Capital Project Budget.

I'm uninformed and VERY curious. What are you putting that rear on, and what are the benefits? Will it lower the bike any, or just improve the ride ALOT? Is that attachment the external adjuster? Very very nice! Let us know your results PLEASE!
