If I were to buy another 2010, Guhl flash would be the first thing I would do.

Mine dropped only because it allowed me to be more ham fisted with the throttle.

I was going to send mine off to LAAM seats... but then I bought a mini bike and haven't touched Big Red all summer. About 3/4 way down page 3 are some pictures on a 7th Gen. https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/71427-seat-recommendation/&do=findComment&comment=924351

^^ This. Best money I spent on my 2010.

If you meant battery cables, then that is probably your culprit. Blown fuse, burnt wires, fried ECU, list goes on. Or since it was put away for the winter, mice/squires/angry wife. Either way, it's probably electrical.

How do you like that rear fender? Does it seem to do the job without too much buzz/rattle?

Trying to figure out how I can make the Spring Ride work for me this year. Coming from Minnesota, I will likely trailer the bike most of the way so I'm not completely burnt out by the time I get down there. Are you starting and ending at the Microtel?

Which set above? The one's HS posted from Wally World or the one you posted from Motion Pro?

Have fun! They are quite addicting. My 'track bike' has paid for itself.

Is there anymore details on this? Is there a 2018 TMAC thread I should be looking for?

Yup. I actually had to warm up the stupid snow blower to get it to start so I could clean up after Sunday's storm.

What's the thought process of the holes next to the headlights? I bought a clapped out ex-race bike, and it looks like the PO tried to accomplish the same thing (poorly). I just tell people they are speed holes (reference), but I've never seen them on another bike...

Why not leave the reed valves in place and just put the block off plates over the gasket?

I've got a 2010 without traction control... so not sure if this helps, but I don't have any wheel spin issues unless its morning/wet, and i get ham fisted with the throttle across painted lines on the road. The rear will spin up a bit in that situation, but it's never been unmanageable (or unavoidable). On my 2010, I actually found it more dangerous WITHOUT the GUHL flash. That is, I would get a sudden rush of power at worst times (full lean, painted lines, wet, etc) and that's when the rear would have the tendency to get squirly.
