These where all funny and informative so I wont waist my money on any of them. For me it was the chrome cup that almost everyone has. The problem is if you have a 08 and newer with the bigger tank the darn thing rubs when you are turning sharp at slow speeds. or when you turn the handle bars all the way to park in the garage.It has scratched my gas filler cap terribly. So I took it off and would like to sell it. Any buyers??? Just make sure you don't have a 08-09.

I love my push button gas tank door latch, however, I did find early on it needed to be lubricated to work properly!

Thought I needed the fairing mirrors. Bought and installed with holes drilled in fairing. Couldn't see anything but my hands and forearms. Realized I had installed the pull-back bars. Took them back to dealer and bought regular (more expensive) mirrors. Bought another fairing off ebay, had it painted same as bike and installed. Looks great but an expensive mistake.

Keep the faith
