Ok I have had my 2013 for 6 days . First impression was brakes were very good, handling was better than I expected, power was underwhelming particularly 1st & 2nd gear. Installed Zbomb after the first 100 miles, big improvement in the 1st & 2nd gear power. Ordered and recieved PC 5 weeks ago but have not installed yet. Same with Heli Bars. Have Akra high mount slip on ordered but delivery is about a month from now. Ordered DJ autotune module yesterday as well as higher output Phillips H7 headlight bulbs.

I want to get some baseline dyno numbers with & without the Zbomb before installing the PC 5, DJ auto tune module & slip on.

Overall I like the bike more the more I ride it.

I havent modded the bike in years, I need to find a new system for radar detection. The TPX was practical but visually scanning for cops was more effective. My buddy reddog would get signals 5 minutes in advance, then lo and behold a cop behind a row of cars would appear as he warned us it would. My lousy tpx would start beeping around about the same time as I saw it with my eyes. What good is a radar detector if all it does is tell you that you are in fact getting a speeding ticket?

V1 + HARD system for almost 14 years now. I've had two m/c tickets in that time because I wasn't paying attention (SIPDE). this combo has saved me thousands. Just on my last ride, a 5.0 was hidden and I picked him off, slowed, and went by him at the speed limit. It's a straight after a hard right corner that I'm usually doing a buck twenty. Worth their weight in gold.
