Well filmed bro.I'm in two minds about LED headlight but I already got led indicators & taillight.I might get the led headlight with the R.E in it. Looks great having the logo in it.

Need some better slip on's bro.I got S&S slip on's & will hook up to TEC headers.Your riding skills have got real good since car park learning to ride video.Yss fork upgrade will improve cornering big time & work real well with your rear TEC shocks.A bit of a hassle to put on & on a Int need bar risers to fit Yss fork upgrade.You have Gt clip on's now.I got R.E shop to do mine.I used Motul 15wgt fork oil but it a bit stiff & after running forks in for a few hundred km soften them up from 30% to 38% & is great now.If you going to use Motul fork oil go for a 10 weight as most people will use a 10 or 15 but 15 a bit stiff but you just adjust preload to your comfort.A 10wgt from Motul at 30% recommended brake in period be spot on.

I can’t see myself spending $300 and upwards on a slip on without first hearing what they will sound like first. So, been putting that upgrade off for now. I sort of learned my lesson on buying without trying on my TEC rear shocks. I wished they had a softer setting but unfortunately even on the softest I’m getting kicked out of my seat on expansion joints and the like. I imagine my rear tire is leaving the ground as well. Tire pressure is set to 36……

@@brelandte TEC shocks are cheaper one's Yss RZ series a good compromise in quality & price as the Yss RG series is top quality in the Yss line up.After Yss it's Onlins but I reckon Yss RZ Series be good enough & RG be easily good enough. Stu Fillingham has both & has done good videos on both, Interceptor has RG series & GT has RZ series watch both videos.Yss fork upgrade first $180-$200us improve handling heaps.My mate had the Yss RZ series & is very happy with them & no piggyback look old school.

@@brelandte I have S&S race only slip on's & they're legal here too n NZ as long as baffles in.Straight through pipe as the Street legals have a mini cat.I think it's only California that Race Only slip on's illegal.They will bolt up to TEC pipes same diameter and 45mm & brushed like TEC 2-2 big bore headers you got.The S&S Race Only slip on's are cheaper than Street legals & S&S don't affect warranty but 2-2 be g bore probably does.S&S race only slip on's aren't that loud with baffles in & has a nice throaty burble & sound even louder with out baffles.I have removed baffles from mine but after 45mins ear plugs needed for longer trips.S&S Race Only cost $500us but are some of the more throaty mufflers with a nice burble.Zard are louder but dearer by $50us.Lectec are reasonably priced at $300us but are chrome & loud & not as base & burble as S&S.S&S street legals cost $650 & only a little quiter.S&S slip on's give 13% more performance in mid range power. Look at S&S videos on KZbin for sound, same as Zard & others.Being in America the Harley boy's will freak out if you put S&S slip on's on.I rode with Harley's & they all freaking out it had S&S pipes.Lextec pipes are chrome & are only 41mm round where they meet header pipe & 50mm at rear so gaskets needed to fit to big bore TEC.S&S & TEC headers 45mm from head to rear which is ideal & sounds awesome.
