I'll wait until I need a rear which shouldn't be long. The whole damn tail light has to come off since there are 2 screws into it as well as the fender.

Finally rode it, after getting the SE Stage II TQ cam. (I already had SE Street Cannons, SE Hi Flow A/C and SEPST.)

It's a different bike from Stage I (which was a different bike from stock). I twist the throttle, and I am gone. It even sounds a little lopey at idle. (I actually thought something was wrong, as I had gotten used to the sewing machine.)

I am happy!!

Edit: I forgot to mention that the clutch appears to have a larger friction zone with the recall performed. (I have a PSR Journey clutch lever, set at 3.)

Started getting the bike ready for tomorrow’s cam, exhaust, and air cleaner swap. Made me a saddlebag holder so I don’t have to lay the bags on a rubber mat. I found the idea on FB, so I thought I’d share in case one of y’all want to make a $10 stand instead of paying $100. I also priced it in 1/2 inch copper. It came out to about $35.

Found a deal on CL for a set of SE slip ons with Defiance tips. $200. They look nice but what a disappointment in the sound and performance. I think I actually lost some low end torque. Not sure how long they’ll stay on. I was pretty happy with the power from the stock pipes. Glad I didn’t pay full price!
