So a couple weeks ago, after a few times of the bike taking longer and longer to start, bike kept stalling all the way home when I sucked the clutch in. Battery was toast. Did some research and found that Batteries Plus actually carries pretty good batteries for our bikes. More cranking power, 2 year warranty, only $110 bucks after core exchange.

Also finished up installing a new Air Cleaner and Stealth Breather system from DK Custom. Great company and really good customer service. Bike is running awesome, think it really likes not injesting the oil and hot air it was trying to puke out.

Decided to put the filter for the breather system in the front for now, had it on the swing arm and didn't like the look. I'll probably switch to a catch can eventually. Sorry the bike is dirty, but they get that way when you use them.

Huh! How about that, I agree 100%. AF cover looks great! Timing, not so much... a little cheap or childish.. Can't put my finger on it.

Super nice bike though! Truly picking nits on the above. It's not 'bad'.

Good fit? I've found some just won't squeeze in.

Thanks for the kind words!

Looks really good, and I think you will enjoy the improvement!

Yup, exact same size of the stock battery. Put them side by side, identical dimensions.
