A bit of rambling may be in order;
I only have 600 miles on it, but I definitely need to tighten up the suspension. I just got back from Seoul and ordered a lot of the Euro Spec stuff while I was there, so I'll be adding all that as it arrives (hooks, rear grab bar, lifting handle, shorter tail fairing, etc). Cosmetically I'm pretty happy with it. I really like the MRA Windscreen along with the T-Rex sliders as far as that goes. As for the top case....I wouldn't want to be the one sitting back there leaning back on it. And if its not built for it, Givi shouldn't advertise the back pad. Since my lady is much smaller and lighter than me it may not be much of an issue. I'm still going to look into modding a back rest. Also, I am wishing I'd held out for the bigger 56L Givi Top Case (it was sold out) because adding the side bags is a bit much for me.
I took off most of the stickers (Scorpion off the exhaust, Kawasaki off the tank, ZX-14R off the tail, and i'll probably remove the 'Ninja' from the front fairings) because it feels as if they'll be falling off at some point anyway so if i do it now, there won't be any 'ghost' impressions in the paint job. As for the Genmar risers....They don't work for me. They actually make things a bit worse. I get a lot more fatigue in my triceps and whatnot. I chalk that up to body geometry or whatever. The Scorpion Serket Parallel pipes work just fine for me. They're a bit louder than stock with more bass, but not Yoshi or Akra bass. I haven't had the bike over 7 grand, so I don't know what they sound like at speed yet.
I definitely need to install the HID Kit if I'm going to do any night riding. The cutoff on the stock headlamp is terrible.
