Default cheap and easy performance

Well today I replaced my clutch diaphragm with a screaming eagle diaphragm. Emediate feel in your pants improvement. I wouldn't have thought it would make that much difference with stock clutch disks, but it did. took all but 45 minutes. 34 bucks for the diaphragm and 13 for a quart of amsoil primary oil. Love it.
The clutch is stiffer, but not overly so.

Spent the last few hours shining the highlighted fins on the clutch side. The aluminum had tarnished after years of sitting and was a huge eyesore to me. Found the combo of scotch brite pads and brasso was the ticket.

Before


Heads shined up pretty good


After


Still have much to do but I've rubbed my thumbs and figertips raw at this point.

Killer, better than leaving them chrome, especially on your blacked out ride. 👍👍

I've been thinking about the wind deflectors too. I'm also interested in getting an update on them. As in, do they actually work at deflecting wind.

Y'all are making me look bad. All I've done recently is put on an FP3 and a lay-down license plate bracket.
Quick question about the FP3. Does the bike adapt to the new programming or is it already done, once I installed a map. I did not utilize the learning mode.
