Finally got around to modifying my detachable windshield to work with my aux lights without making it permanent. Installed the detachable kit with enough spacers to move the aux lighting kit away from the forks to allow the windshield to be an easy on/off. Before, the windshield bracket would pinch the wires.

Default TAB B.A.M. Sticks with slash cut tips

Will the top of the slash cut tips come out flush with our extended bags?? Or do I need to buy extensions?

Congrats . What color did you go for? Vivid Black, Charcoal Denim, Olive Gold, or the Hard Red Candy?

Welcome, everyone here has been very helpful. I just got back from a trip on the bike ~2000 over a week. When I got back decided to go ahead and get my air intake, exhaust and tuner. Just waiting for the parts to come in!
