I had to do a service on one of these monsters. the oil change wasn't so bad but the god damn air filter is a nightmare. having to pull the luggage rack off just to remove the seat and removing so much shit just to get into the bike, that's just assinie. should have been double the labor price. anyone ever work on one? go on youtube and look up how much stuff has to come off to get to it.
I just wanna work on sportbikes damn it lol.
The believe government regulations require manufacturers to design the fender, lights, turn signals and license plates with parameters which make the rear end look ugly. Don't know the specifics, but it seems the street bikes all have an awful hunk of plastic to hold the license plate, lights and turn signals.
After much debate and takeing some advise and placing one order then changing my mind and canceling it. I have decided on a set of LED headlights. Went with the ZED/CSP stacked chip design with the cut off shield. Also decided no fan and no external driver since there is plenty if clearance behind my bulb. Also wanted some with decent reviews and easily returnable if they don't work out. So these are what I decided.

This guy did a nice little work up on them. They are ones he refers to as the new style
oem. good enough for the M1 good enough for my bike. hiflow filtro is actually one of the best motorcycle specific filters on the market. first to pass the tuv tests.
Finally got the rearsets done... now I just need to put some miles on the bike and make sure they're adjusted where I want and that nothing loosens up...
I still run KN.
Mostly because I don’t care and ain’t skeerd.
Also because all my bikes use cartridge filters instead of those gay strap on filters so I don’t need to worry about busting a nut at the wrong time
Added some extra storage to the bike. Couple of my riding partners ( @Connie14 @JustinNck1 ) have dubbed this the greatest mod ever.
