Dealer had all the red tin in stock. Tanks was the only thing that gave a slight challenge but even at that it wasn't too bad. The front fender and two rear pieces took about 10 minutes front 10 minutes back and the tank was the rest of the time and even at that the tank swap wasn't too tricky. Hardest part was trying to get the pump out of the tank.
So far i only put 50 miles on her today but i love it so far, hopefully going on a little longer ride tomorrow.
Just wondering anyone have any experience with the competition works fender eliminator with the small turn signals off the side of the plate between the mufflers? Im hoping this will be my next pic up in this thread.

That makes sense. Nice choice with the red. I like that color a lot.

My friend just put a Comp Werks on his bike. It's a quality piece. Dunno about the install though. He had the dealership do his.

I put a D3 unit on mine tho. I'd recommend it based upon the build quality.

lol no I mean you really got a 2012 speed3? My friend's gonna be so jealous.

On a different note:
Pegs felt strangely sloppy so I went to take a look last night and realized the dealer shop did not loctite any of the bolts on the rearset they installed. 1 bolt already fell out, 1 was half way out and a few others were loose. both sets were loose and jiggling around. :mad:

Stuck an extra bolt from the stock sets in until I get my loctite. One of my bar ends also fell out and the other was loose too (again, installed by dealer shop). sighhhhh, going to have a nice talk with them later today.

Went for my first ride on the new stripple on sunday. Stopped to take a leak and realized just how beautiful the scenery is in upstate NY.

Yes, that is a deer carcass and pile of trash next to the no littering sign.

Back on topic, i LOVE this bike, Pulls hard like my SV down low and then keeps pulling all the way up to the top! loving this freak summer weather in march, can't wait to get back out again!!!
