    So far I've did these mods...
    - Tail Tidy LEDs installed
    - Brake modulator installed
    - Tail tidy using exiting hardware
    - Removed front reflectors
    - Removed rear pegs and used plugs to cover screw holes


    Next up is to remove the grab bars, install yoke protector, install black levers, and install Power Commander V

    Removing the grab handles and the rear passenger pegs is the best way to clean her up!

    You can buy grab handle caps for like $10/each at the dealership that come painted!

    For now I'm not going to install frame sliders, mainly because I have to drill the fairing, but you right, it will also kill the look a bit.

    Thanks. Might shoot and video when I get most everything done. There's some minor fairing damaged to the right front from the previous owner, but I might hold off on that until this winter.

    Oh, please don't tell me I should have installed a K&N filter, because their crap for keeping the dirt out
