I'm curious to find out about significant improvements in barking. I've hear these carbon are the bomb.

They bark MUCH louder.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Just put on another new goodie :)






And just to be a tease :)



I think my next mod is going to be the next reservoirs and then a steering dampener.
Has anyone done an aftermarket dampener??

That fuel cap's a great match to your bikes colour scheme. You'd think they made it for you.
Very clean design.

And that rear wheel shot is just rubbing it in! ;D

Wet sponges are known to fix that problem.  ;D

I could not agree more. I've contemplated doing it for a while and finally just grabbed it for the heck of it and fell in love. I wanted to do the black one on the Dark, but it had the metal ring around it so it looked awkward without being powdercoated first.
After having it on for a few days I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be more happy, it comes off really nice and looks so clean!!

I think they were referring to the steering damper. To stop the bars head shaking on acceleration over bumps kind of thing.

But it does get awfully wobbly around 110/120 :(

Suspension all tuned for you?

Assuming your answer to koko 64 is yes, my personal experience on my bilke:

Add windscreen, more stable at speeds over 100 MPH.
Add clip-ons, more stable.
Add steering damper, low setting pretty damn good.

In my case I believe the instability, which was not too awful bad stock, was caused by my steering input from being moved around by wind.  As pointed out by others, a steering damper is not a fix for a suspension problem, but, IMO, a nice addition, particularly when dealing with NYC roads
