@@LifeWellRidden Got everything installed and it feels like a different bike! Your video made the PCV part extremely simple so thank you for that. But definitely add the Rotty intake to your list, it’s absolutely worth it. Look forward to the vid tomorrow!
@@LifeWellRidden Surprisingly easy following their install video! I’d say you can do it in an hour or less since you’re used to taking everything apart already. Assembling the base plate will be about 15 min of that time. And no hardware under the seat is reused so you don’t have to keep track of anything other than our side panel screws!
i got a polisport covers for the swingarm and they come with a sponge tape to put between the cover and swingarm because the covers will move a little and mark the swingarm.
Cool vid bro! I have the plastic skid plate on my 690, and only the 2 bolts at the front of the skid plate that screw to the frame need to come out to remove the skid plate
Thanks man! And I figure I’m not going off road so let’s bling it up a bit! I’m sure the first rock/road debris I encounter will destroy the damn thing haha but I’m still trying to figure out the best way because it dosent work like that.. (I may just be an idiot) but it seems like I need too sharp of an angle to leave the rear attached to the plugs.. I’ll keep working it and see where it goes!
Hindsight is 20/20! Haha I figured I would have to take most of it off and just eye balled it, when looking at it installed, you don’t see any of the cutting but every time I use the stand it scrapes on the carbon.. I have to figure that out now! And I always heard that using locktite on these pins would make them weaker.. I locktite everything else but the said since they are so light and under so much stress by the stand, if they get stuck then you can break them by trying to get them out, whether that’s true or not 🤷🏻♂️
Looks awesome so far man! My intake and PCV should be here this week so I’ll get to use your video for the install. Keep em’ coming!
Heck yeah! An exciting week for sure! And don’t worry there are plenty I have in mind and more to come!

@@Colt-Forty5 oh heck yeah!! I’m glad the video helped and it’s on there! Something to come in the future for sure! Haha
@@Colt-Forty5 how difficult was the install of the air intake?

Ohhh shit.. didn’t even think of that, we’ll I guess I’ll have to take them off after the season and see if any markers are there 😟
Fitted the swing arm covers today 🖤

Amazing build! What is the brand of the exhaust carbon cover?
Thank you! A company called P3 makes it, they have a ton of bits on their website!
Always put grease on rubber grommets 😉
Haha! I figured that out the hard way.. I re-greased em and we are all set!
did you paint the rims? looks good
You bet!! I have a video up of how I did it, just plasti dip and a lot of love haha
@@LifeWellRidden yeah i saw that after the comment. I think Ill do the same thing with white plastidip then orange over the white to make it pop.
@@samjohnsonwatson5736 that would be sweet! I like just the white on my bike but may try and switch up the colors here and there
Why didn’t you measure out, where the hole should be before drilling? Locktite?
