I replaced one bolt at a time with the bike on the center stand. It didn't need any additional support.

I ordered the motocentric pants and the zipper on the pockets only lasted a day. I hope the bags are of better quality.

Put my Barkbusters Blizards on... supposed to be cold in the morning this week.

It's getting frosty in the mornings here too. I think my days of riding to work are over.

Today I changed the oil and filter myself after having the dealer do it last time. The dealer had the filter on so tight that I broke my strap wrench and punching a screw driver through it didn't work either. I finally got it out using a vise grip

Cincinnati. I spotted 2 riders last Sunday in Kentucky. Anyone form here?

80°f air temp should be illegal to use heated hand grips...unless you live where it's 150°f or more regularly I can see the need for heated hand grips at 80°f  on heat setting 5 ?

It was 46 a few days back. The temperature swings are a little extreme this year

It's an unusually warm week, but it will drop to 40s next week

I installed the heated grips

I installed the vstream sport touring windscreen and took it for a highway ride to test all 3 configuration.
 
Low setting - decent airflow but a little wind noise. No buffeting
Medium settjng - slightly less airflow, minimal wind noise
High setting -no wind noise, minimal air flow over the helmet. It gets warm on a hot day

 

Installed some OEM heated grips today.. will test them out on my ride home from work tomorrow morning.

How easy/difficult is the installation? I have the tools, but I read that getting the old grips off can be a PITA

@angelocorreia Is that piece with the "GIVI" logo removable?

Yes it is. It's meant to be in the center, but I put it at the top

I installed the Givi crash bars

 
 

I installed the lowered seat. Being 5'8", I can now comfortably reach the ground and back out of tight spots. It also corners better since I'm sitting about an inch lower. But, it's like sitting on a rock. I'll have to take her out on a long ride to see if it's bearable.

After couple of weeks, whats your verdict about the lowered seat? Also, did you used Yamahas OEM one or something else? 
Being a similar height low rider like you, I have been thinking the lower seat. Not so keen about lowering the whole bike..
 
Fist post to the forum. Greetings from Finland 8-)
 
 

 
To be honest, it's not as comfortable as the stock seat, but I got used to it. I need to move around after every 100 miles
