    Time for an update....lots of stuff done.

    Rear axle sliders, paddock bobbins, front axle sliders, radiator guard, finished tech spec grips install (finally), passenger pegs off, evotech blanking plates installed, more suspension tweaks.

    Next up - mirrors and bar sliders, seat cowl, frame sliders, belly pan, tail tidy, integrated tail light, RAM mount.

    Eventually (at some more distant point in the future) - quickshifter.

    Once dyno charts are out and we can actually compare numbers - upgrade exhaust

    Pics....

    Welcome on board, hope your weather is better there than here in the UK at the moment so you can get out and enjoy it.

    All the mods looking good mate, will be interested to know how you rate the little screen if the weather allows a ride! :sun:

    I've had two rides (weather is preventing most opportunities, unfortunately) - the TFT screen is brilliant (especially 'style 2' - for me). I have analog bikes except for this one, and I took to the display very easily. Hope that evaluation helps.

    What I'm not happy about is the fact that on the LRH model, the rear shock is *not adjustable for rebound damping. It makes no sense - especially given that the LRH version is designed for smaller, shorter folks. Those tend to be lighter (just in virtue of being smaller and shorter), and a critical suspension element to avoid a bouncy ride under load is the ability to dial-in rebound damping. Given the regular R version does have that capacity, I'm flummoxed as to why they just didn't use the same piggyback reservoir on the LRH. Couple that with the manual preload collar, and the rear is fully adjustable to just about anyone's needs.

    In short, it's hard to find defensible as a design choice.

    Standby - loads of pictures on the tail tidy install (and integrated tail light)...decent amount of electrical construction necessary as well to run external turn indicators.
