Well today I put the right side cover and the seat back on. Then I put my tank bag on ready to ride on Sunday as long as it does not piss down here  in sunny Florida. 8)

Didn't lift a tool, didn't polish it, I just rode the sucker.

Imagine that?

Same here. Tank in place. Removed side cover and seat.

Added the tank seam weather strip today. That's a nice tip!

Yeah adding trim to the tank is a great idea, already had a couple compliments on it from a couple guys at work. An cheap, too. 12 bucks isn't bad at all.

Installed my mk design cafe fairing today

Details!!

1. Did you have to lower the bars/controls?

2. Photos of mount/brackets?  How is it attached to the bike?

3. Any stability issues when riding?  Vibrations on the bars??

4. Is the inside nicely finished???

Looks great!!!
Ride safe!

Did not have to lower the controls or bars

The brackets are well thought out
And everything is supplied

No stability issues. I just went for a decent ride with it.  Might need to adjust my headlight

To be honest the inside could be finished nicer
But for the price and the ease of install I’ll take it

I feel making the inside a gel coat like the outer part would be nice.  But if a person wanted to you could spray inside with a black or some sort of liner to hide the roughness

Thank you!!!  Looks like I will be adding it to the mod list!!! 

The other ones I have seen required to lower the bars.

Woohoooo!!!
