This forum has been a wealth of information and inspiration. Thumbs Up

Still waiting on the Chicdesign seat and fairing....But the Chicdesign hand guards, R&G frame sliders and Staintune exhaust arrived this week.The weather here in Northeast Kansas has been pretty cold, like mid 30's for highs during the daytime. When it warmed up into the 40's on Wednesday and stayed that way this week, I braved the cold and got all of the parts installed.

The ChicDesign hand guards were pretty easy to install with the OEM mirrors. I used blue Loctite on the screws holding the guards to the brackets.

The Staintue muffler was fairly straight forward. Per the instructions, I used a high temp silicone sealer on the joint between the header pipe and the muffler. No real hassles, except for having to get up and down and crawling around on the cold concrete. Confused

The K&G frame sliders were a little bit of a pain in backside because the instructions are confusing and pictures are on different pages than the text. They are quite sturdy and have an additional 1/4" steel plate on each side to help prevent frame or engine damage in the event of a fall.

The ChicDesign seat and fairing are not schedule to arrive until late January/early February. I may have to wait on the weather to get them installed. They should really add to Café theme.

Cheers to all.
