PALMER84ONE:
1,500, threw the chain into the case and the OEM case saver is a joke as it took out the clutch actuator arm housing anyway.
I could get the 1,500 back in selling the FMF 4.1, SSS forks, and fasterUSA wheel set easy.
Lets see the list:
Probably missed something.
Hinsen clutch cover
Boyesen WP and the upgrade 16 OEM (14 was a known poor impeller)
2 seats-stock and hi foam
FMF 4.1 Complete system + stock system
GYTR head
270 kit
Cycra intake boot/filter/cage
3 new filters, 2 used
FasterUSA wheel sets
New rear sprocket
Braking wave rotors/pads ($450.00)
80% tires
GYTR power tuner
Red bling kit, Blue bling kit
Title, and the paper with all the work and hours
Didn't have the last known hours written down but I can plug the tuner in for that. and the GYTR head and 270 kit has less than 50 on it.
I would say score as these bikes are still in the upper 4K around here.
Cases and bearings and my labor under $800 if I wanted to fix and flip, but since things will fit my 17 WR, I will wait and see what I want to do on the engine.
I would say score.

That’s a win.

Put on vibe isolation grips on the sporty, kiriyakn or something.
first ride -hate them. Had to hack up a bar end weight adapter for the throttle side to keep the tube from sticking, and they are so puffy and oddly shaped that is took some adjusting to get a flat(ish) spot to rest my palm. My bikes throttle is so twitchy already that just trying to reposition my grip or body would grab a handful and lurch forward. Very unsettling.
I didn’t think I could hate grips this much, so I’m going to give them a ride or two before I decide but they sure are different. ..and weird

I ended up falling in love with them on the valkarie.

Yep. in black. They look so comfy, but I'm having a tough time adjusting. I'm going to chalk it up initially to just being different. Well see after a few more rides.
maybe on a cruiser where you body weight isn't resting on your palms they are different. Got good reviews from some sportbike guys so maybe its just me.
