Now to see a list of everything not stock (even adjustments)!😁
Like who did the seat? That as so much other is truly over the top!
Thank you, it was definitely a vision I had in my head and turned out exactly how I imagined it. The list is long sir, but in regards to the seat. I had a Drag Specialties Predator seat and came up with my own design for a cover. You can pm me if you want other details on the build.

Adjusted the clutch and lubricated the clutch cable. I have begun to use Boshield T9 for lube. After using it on my bicycle chain I have come to appreciate that it doesn't evaporate or get sticky like other lubes I have used.

T9 definitely gets sticky. I've used it for my table saw for years. When I'm not going to use it for a while, I put a thicker layer on the top and it gets gummy. I wouldn't use that in my cables, just me.

Lot of ADV bike riders have been using it for years. So I'm giving it a shot. Time will tell.

Made my own torque baffles. A few bucks in hardware and a spare socket to get that nice cone shape. Still sound great but it definitely brought back that 114 torque. Gotta hit them up with some paint tomorrow.

Hit up the baffles with some black high temp paint and took the bike out for a trip through the back yard. Wife wasn’t happy with the ruts but enjoyed the show none the less.

You must definitely list the mods. Like who's pipes are those?
You did all that work, making a list for us has to be the easy part...
