  1. @gabefzr6 thanks! I need to get that long extension and I should be good. Also good to know there's a mark for alignment. I was looking for one, but couldn't see it. I'll go look again.
  2. @gabefzr6 Well, I'm an idiot, and I think I just figured it out. You don't physically move the whole handlebar assembly forward, just loosen the mounts and rotate the bar a little. Definitely over thought that one.
  3. @gabefzr6 I'm stumped. I took the top of the mounts off, but could not for the life of me make the base of the mounts turn. Am I missing something? I thought you maybe meant to just rotate the top part of the mounts, but that won't move the bars at all, so that can't be it.
  4. Heated grips are on! Hardest part was figuring out how to remove the upper fairing. If you follow the installation instructions, the wiring on the throttle side isn't quite as clean as the clutch side, so I may see if I can re-route it a little when I go to install the accessory outlet next week. Otherwise, pretty painless. With the new housing for the throttle cable and heater wire, the ease of wiring into the factory harness, and controlling the grips with the stock controls, I can justify the premium over aftermarket heated grips.
  5. Installing the heated grips tonight, and ordered the accessory outlet. Rear turn signals are LED now, and located under the tail. Removed the luggage mounts (since I'm getting soft bags) and the grab handles. Just got plastic panel tabs to cover the holes. They pop off easy and I can re-install everything in a minute if I have a passenger or need the tie downs. No pics yet. Not until I get the fender eliminator and flush front signals installed. Should arrive sometime soon...
  6. All of the reviews claim the handlebars can be moved forward, but the manual doesn't explain how. I think you just undo the bolts, rotate the mounts 180 degrees and tighten it all back down. Is it that simple? Anyone done it yet? I feel like moving them forward will lean you forward ever so slightly for a sportier feel. Maybe it's not enough to even notice, but if it's a simple adjustment, what's the harm in trying it? I've also heard the pegs are adjustable, but I think that article was mistaken.
