How did you go about moving your ignition switch? I see your bike is pre-rushmore like mine and have wondered the best way to get that done.

Great looking bike btw

You're right around the corner from me. I'm near Fredericksburg.

As I understand it, becasue it was explained to me yesterday, it's a CVO flash the dealer can do. It just removes the switch and the RUN/STOP becomes the on/off switch if the fob is present. If the fob is not present it will ask for the PIN just like normal. No parts to install, just to remove.

I know thats what the Rushmore bikes do, wasnt sure that was an option on the older bikes.

My apologies, I saw Rushmore and missed the Pre in front of it. I came across this the other day researching this for myself until I learn about the flash.

Quick update on what I've done. GP cartridges instead of the Ohlins. The main deciding factor was for two things. Better performance in hard braking while in a corner, and less locked in with proprietary Ohilns oil, although they recommend the Moto X 5W. That and the Kraus Pro Kit 10" to put my bars at 12.75", close to where they are now. Jesus take the wheel, my wife is 100% going to see that missing this month.

Lol in your thread when you were asking about this stuff I was going on information I had first hand knowledge of, if not from my own bike. I told you I'd do the full Kraus set up or similar if I were go that direction. I just didn't know I was at that point in my life, but I did put my money where my mouth was. All of it.

I have been told that going +2 is even better, but I'm not ready of willing to go full on race bike, so the GP are still stock height and the 13" Ohlins in the rear are stock or +1 from stock for this bike.

Separate bank accts man! I pay all the bills except the electric bill (she is a LLC and works from home and my electric ranges around my first mortgage from all her machines) so I can buy what I want without murder 😂😂.

Good luck on the front end man, I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed.
