Fast & simple protection, hopefully never needed

Cut out around the rubber bumpers

white box is just to keep the screen in place for the pic
Where did toy buy that cover from?Looks good.

Its black gutter guard from Home Depot, saw some other posts for the same mod
Decided to do it after I saw a post where a rock went thru the fins on a bike, major loss of oil

Online only shows a 25 pk, but they have single pieces for $3.97 in store
Spectra Metals 5 in. x 4 ft. Armour Lock Gutter Guard (25-Pack) GS441FM25 - The Home Depot

I did this on mine some time ago and you can see the marks where stones have been flicked up from the front tyre. It should come from the factory like this really, but I guess that’s HD for you.

Default Dynojet PV4 Ordered

Fuelmoto's $30 discount this weekend pushed me over the edge. Looking forward to tinkering with it.

Huh? Fuel Moto isn't having a sale. That's their regular price.

Or did you find a coupon?

I was interested in the PV4, but it doesn't have Autotune or allow you to turn on the cruise control.

I found out through Fuel Moto that the PV3 doesn't have the option of turning on the cruise either.

Also, while Fuel Moto will price match, but if they do, they won't pre load a map nor will they adjust maps for you in the future. This is what I was told in an email from them.

Installed Kodlin Neowise rear signals. Ran a fourth wire and mx1900 connector socket and re-pinned to European 4-wire specs. Soldered, heat shrink, and PET expandable wire loom. 3 new Christmas tree cable ties.
DK Customs axle license plate mount with custom dynamics LED plate frame. Notched plate. Ran wires through plate mounting slot. Solder, heat shrink, PET wire loom. Ran wires under lower swingarm bar with black cable ties, around pivot and up behind battery and tied along rear signal wires. Clean install which will be completely hidden when I finally decide on a swing arm bag.
I need to have the BCM flashed to add the dedicated brake light circuit at my service later in the week. Until then, I have amber stop lights.
​​​De-reflectored.
I also have a vanity vertical motorcycle license plate coming from PennDot to keep me sorta legal.
