With the extenders, you can see cars in the lane behind you as well as the lane to the side. It worked out really well. Hope you like them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grip it & Rip it Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Never liked the stock radiator covers so I threw on the puig ones. They kinda have a silly stealth bomber look but I like em 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about getting something like them for the winter to help keep the cold wind off a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was in there I also pulled off my intake snorkel, checked my clutch free-play, and checked my chain tension. Now unfortunately I have to let the bike sit for a week while I wait for the ECU... Is there actually a difference with the snorkel out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a member here ran CFD simulations and found you can gain 16% more airflow with the snorkel removed. Sounds like it's good for about 1-2 horsepower if re-tuned. The most interesting thing to note was that the full rubber snorkel should be removed, you'll actually lose flow if you cut the snorkel due to increased turbulence in the airbox. Before I sent the ECU in, I gave 2WDW a call and asked for their opinion and it and they also recommended removing the snorkel. Unfortunately I don't have the ECU back yet, so I can't give a seat of the pants review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phanomenal07 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Got the gpr v4 steering stabilizer installed yesterday. Rode for about 120 miles with it on so far and wow it really changes the way the bike handles. I was a lil suprise by it at first. The different settings on it are really great. I don't know why anyone would need the steering to be at 20 but it's an available option. I have it set on 3 and it feels plenty stable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedriver1 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Got a package in the mail today! 2WDW has some incredible turnaround time, my ECU left Florida for Washington last Saturday and was tuned and back in my hands on Thursday. Gonna get it re-installed, clean the chain and go for a test ride asap. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VertigoTX Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Installed a ~14 liter tank bag. I went with the strap mount version, and it's mounted up pretty secure. I was able to fit everything from my backpack into it except my water bottle. I guess I'll need to put the soft items in a backpack, or get a tail bag if I want to not wear a backpack. f feel better about not having hard items on my back now. Though there is room for a bigger bag, I don't think I'd like anything bigger than this. In fact, looking at it, it seems too big already. Yet, I never even noticed it on my ~60 mile ride. Installed a chin curtain in my HJC IS-17 helmet. I wasn't sure how much it would help because it's a mesh type material. It's effect was to significantly quiet down my helmet. It greatly reduced the wind inside the helmet without reducing airflow in a negative way. I was actually a little warmer in my helmet as well.

Keps your brand new pipes from having little fingerprint stains all over. And yes, you can definitely put on a full exhaust system yourself. Very simple job, especially on these bikes!

VertigoTX Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Technically this was yesterday... I took it in for the 600 mile service, which cost me about $130. Took the freeway home instead of city streets, then also did another ~30 miles on the freeway. Looking forward to hitting 1000 and not caring about RPM usage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that same bag ( I use it as a tail bag, usually), and I don't think you could need anything bigger! When expanded, you can fit a full face helmet inside! Mine is a few years old now and still looks like new. Nelson Rigg ain't cheap, but it's dang good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
