DONE de-modding the '09!!!
- Traded the CD speed screen for the OEM screen.
- Removed the Euro Sport Scoops and put on the OEM radiator caps
- Removed the swingarm spools
- Removed the chin fairing and brackets. Will repair the scuffing and get creative before install.
- Removed the adjustable levers and put the OEM back on
- Smoothed the bar end chaffing with a file and painted then installed.
- Removed Evotech Exhaust hanger and put back OEM Pillion brackets and pegs.
- Removed Evotech FE Kit and return rear fender and signals to stock.
- Removed GPR Steering Stabilizer
- Removed SpeedoDRD
- Removed PIAA dual horns and put OEM horn back on.
- Removed damaged frame sliders and put back OEM engine bolts.
- Removed the Racetech springs and put in OEM and new spacers.
- Swapped on the Shinko tires from Michele's bike.
2009 is totally de-modded! I only have the following to do.
- Bleed front and rear brakes now that the OEM lines are back on.
- Set the OEM suspension for stock settings
- Order the rear brake pedal, right inner fairing panel and fuel cowl. Install.
- Wash, shine, polish and sell it.
I've done the following on the 2013, removed the ECU and replacing with the Ivanized ECU, moved over the Power Commander V, O2 Delete, Arrow Headers, modded airbox, Graves Velocity Stacks, K&N air filter, AIS block-off plates, Battery Tender lead, RAD Armor radiator guard, Two Bros can (I'm going to use this scuffed one until the packing wears out then buy a new one), swapped on the PR4 tires and the Penske 8983.
Still left for the 2013:
- SS brake lines, bleed and set
- Racetech springs and cut spacers (Winter project)
- CD screen - Nearly ready for install
- Power outlet - Wiring and drill a hole in the inner fairing panel
- Oxford heated grips - Wire to a key'd power source.
- Euro Scoops - Scotchbrite and re-spray matte black.
- Chin fairing - Needs work first
The only mods staying with the 2009 bike are the Power outlet and heated grips. I cannot remove the heated grips and reuse them without mucking up the elements and adhesive and they aren't that expensive to replace. And since the inner fairing has the holes for both the grip switch and power outlet, I may as well leave that all installed.
The new 2013 will roll with many of these mods on before the first few miles are over. I'll set aside the OEM seats and put on the TS seat. I still need to get pics of the black tail with the Cobalt strike seat cowl then decide if I want it blue or painted to match the black or some cool combo where some of it remains blue. I can at least test all black using Plastidip! (Thanks loosenut!!).
The 2009 will be very close to stock. The only visible damage will be a small scuff on the front fairing, lightly scuffed mirror and front signal plastics, small dent in the tank, small ding on the frame, and the small rash on the rear grab handle. Otherwise, it will look and ride fine. I un-tweaked the front easily, checked the tubes and the forks are not bent at all, nor is the handlebar. I loosened the top triple clamping bolts and held the front wheel with my knees, then grabbed the bars and move them into alignment without issue. Bounced it with the brake held to be 100% sure and tightened. She rides straight with no hands so all is good there. Wash, polish and put up for sale with full disclosure. Because it wasn't totaled and I had the option of frame replacement or an "Appearance allowance" the title is not a salvage... clear and OK to title/register again. There will be a for sale thread here, again, full disclosure.
That kid's Dad must be pretty upset with him. I've gone back and verified that yes, it is clearly marked ONE-WAY where he turned down the street. Like I said, I'll avoid that route at all costs but if I'm there again, outside lane ONLY. I can't afford to lose another pair of silk boxers. :rofl:
Thanks Lee.
