I ordered some shorty levers so I guess its a temporary solution till those arrive Hmm - I have the same set-up with some Gilles levers and neither mirror gets in the way of the lever. It looks like you have your mirrors pivoted inwards. You can actually take the arm the mirror is attached to and pivot that outwards (towards the left on the clutch side and towards the right on the brake side). They're tight, but the arm definitely does pivot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did pivot them the other way when flipping them upside down, it's not ideal but it will have to do till my shorty levers come in, then I will switch them back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah - I see now; the Gilles levers, even though full length, don't have those bulbous ends like the stockers do. I completely forgot about that haha. Either way, the CRG arrows are like a million times better than the stock mirrors. Even though they're smaller, the visibility out of them is much more because of the convex glass they use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofuproductions Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Just bought it ('20 Ice Fluo) last monday, got it delivered last friday. I've been installing parts since then since it's still chilly out here. Once riding season "starts" (aka, meaning the majority of my parts are installed), I will be more than anxious to ride it out and enjoy. Sadly, no photo of the bike yet.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing major, just the fender eliminator, some bar ends/mirrors, frame sliders, radiator guard, shorty levers, flush mount turn signals, and popped in the led bulb the housing (may go that projector route later but honestly I am not too concerned with it). Other little various tidbits but nothing crazy, just want to ride once it warms up a tad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my brand new 2019 in July and seem to have been bitten by the tinkering bug. For sure this bike is more that capable the way it is, not perfect, but there is nothing that I "need" to do...but "want" is another story. I put on axle, fork and frame sliders right away and now I have Spiegler brake lines, EBC brake pads, Motodymanic fender eliminator, Barkbuster "mits" (for the early and late part of the season) and FTEcu all ready to go once it is warm enough to do the work. And I have a few other things I am looking in to, but not because the bike needs it exactly but I like to tinker and it's fun to make something my own I guess.

Triple Jim Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 It got over 70 degrees here today and I could spare a few minutes, so I checked the air pressure in its tires and took it out on the deserted country roads around me for 40 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qays Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Installed the Cyclops 10.0 Headlight Bulb with 2 T10 LED Bulbs from Amazon. Also I did the R&G Aero Turn Signal Indicators, with Turn Signal Indicator Adapters from Amazon. Really like this Mod. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I am trying to find myself, and I have found some just not at a price I am willing to pay. Such stupid money for what they are. I would prefer too if the running lights were amber just like OEM so it is easier to see the indicator is flashing...some white running lights are so bright it is hard to see the color change from white to amber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member DewMan Posted March 20, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 20, 2021 Today I rode from St Petersburg FL to Ft Meyers Beach FL (215km/135 miles each way) and on the way back I-75 was a parking lot so I got off of I-75 to take back roads to get around the congestion. It was about 20 mile later, out in the country doing 55-70mph speeds, when I noticed the bike was feeling pretty wishy-washy. I pulled over in the next parking lot to assess the issue. I found my Road5 rear tire was totally flat. I was impressed how well it handled with zero air in it. The short side walls helped keep it stable. It was quite warm to the touch even on the sidewalls. Locating the puncture was a project since there was nothing stuck in the tire and the pinhole was hiding in a groove. A rope plug later and I was back on the road. I'll pull the wheel and get an internal plug/patch installed before I ride it again.Lesson Learned: Add soapy water to your plug kit to help find the leak buried in your tire grooves. 2 DewMan Just shut up and ride.

Steve777 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I decided to relocate my dash.... and I'm so glad I did, it's so much easier to see! It took a while to get it right and probably around 3-4 goes 3D printing models before I was happy with the results... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWR Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Had the day off from work, so I rode her to work (fool that I am) to get something that I forgot. Really love this bike - probably the most *fun* motorcycle I've owned the way it is setup now. Some of the winter mods...new bar ends, heated grips, SeatConcepts seat and new paint.
