Think they made some minor frame mods in 04/05 and 05 came with the vented lower fairings.&nbsp\\; Don't hold me to it, but I think the cd player may have been introduced in 03 and then they went to Harmon Kardon&nbsp\\;ed player&nbsp\\;in 06 with a slight change to the tourpack design&nbsp\\;and added LED lights on the lower part of the tour pack vs. bulbs.

A lot of the 05s had problems with valve guide seals causing oil an consumption problem.

06 has reduced clutch effort, I believe they have a higher amp rating and redesigned tour-pac with led side lights.&nbsp\\;

In addition to above

04 changed to GTX nylon saddlebags as apposed to fiberglass

05 had the different heads, many early 05 had the valve guide seal issue that cause them to use oil

06 got the GTX nylon tour pak, which was also slightly less deep and more streamlined, with the 2 different mount positions fore and aft, also the reduced effort clutch, and the new Harmon Kardon Audio system. I think 06 is also where they changed the fuel injectors.
