Proud of myself for completing these installations myself with the help of you guys and YouTube. Saved sooooo much money on labor from the local dealer.

Changed the transmission belt, added the FW & 17g Dr. Pulleys, changed the rear tire, Givi E55 top case with brake lights, and added the OAD foot peg mounts.

Very pleased with acceleration from the tranny work, not to mention that the studdering has vanished. To anyone contemplating these upgrades, it is definitely worth it. The ride is like night and day Wha? emoticon

Thanks again OAD for parts.

It's got three wheels but it ain't no trike. Thanks for the input, but I put that on there because it is significant to my life. Much deeper than a random thought or idea that sounded good at the time.
