Took her to my local dealer to install full Öhlins (NIX22+STX46) suspension :) Sad that it will rain the whole weekend so have to wait with it a bit...

Please tell us how you get on with these.

Just do it!

Do not worry, that is pretty typical with this bike. I adjusted my chain at 200 miles and have not had to adjust it again in the last 11,000 miles

Took my bike to a suspension shop and had it lowered 50mm. This was done with a new shock and fork springs and oil. Also different kick stand. Going to ride it today.

That's a lot of lowering. What prompted it?

Just shut up and ride.

Basically confidence issues. The preload is set at the lowest right now so after I get out there to ride it we have the ability to adjust up a bit.

Painted my frame covers and heel guards! Also added more padding to my seat.

Made bars to keep saddlebags from hitting wheels, and to support tail bag. That Yamaha tail trunk and rack has a ridiculously low weight limit. Basically, it can hold an empty 50L trunk.

Went over 21,000 miles on the ride into work this am. Time for another oil/filter change, and creeping on the 27,000 valve adjustment.

Installed brake resivor relocation bracket. Nothing special done in 10mins.  I see the benefit besides just looks.

Oxford mini from revzilla. Pretty cheap at only $20/pair, but are really bright! Install was easy but you need to get the adapter plate that fill the holes left from the factory lights. Amazon sells them for $10.

here is a more frontal view of my bike

Got a link for those cool lights, Johny? I'm curious, what are the laws where you're at for using fog lamps? Can you use them any time or does it have to be foggy or raining when you use them? The reason I ask is an X supervisor of mine in Tehas got a ticket for using his when it was clear out.
 
 
Sorry for the slow reply.. here's the link for the lights: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9HHPK5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_HCNxzbHY57A0S
 
I'm not to familiar with local laws on the lights but where I live there's fog 24/7, almost 365 days of the year. Plus I lane split, these lights should make me stick out a bit more.

I replaced my dented gas tank with a nice clean used one. Original owner did something to it!

I threw on a Puig touring windscreen after driving to Houston and back to Austin this weekend without anything but my white knuckles. Sweet baby Jesus I feel like a new man. Or rather, like a majestic Eagle soaring through the southern sky. Or other similes involving butter and hot knives. 11/10, would bolt on again.

Got the S21's mounted and installed.  First time removing the rear wheel, so learned a little more about the bike.
