No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Installed Cox Racing radiator and oil cooler guards this afternoon, perfect fit using existing radiator/oil cooler mounting bolts...no zip ties!   Sorry for the dark pics, I need a new camera. |

I dodged rain coming home tonight from the Leeward side. At the moment there is no dodging.  |

Had the dealer bleed/flush the front brakes this morning, fluid was pretty dirty looking for such low mileage...braking performance didn't seem to suffer that much though.
After lunch I cleaned and lubed the chain, detailed the bike and then reinstalled the stock levers...for some reason they are easier on my arthritic fingers/hands than the Pazzos, must be the softer, less squared off profile.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Did the Evotech tail tidy...the only question is, do I attach the reflectors to be legal or ditch them for a less cluttered look?
Don't get me started......... |

Which explains why I couldn't find a Google reference for it.  Burning 3,000 calories is no joke either! |
