Installed the rectangular fog lights tonight, went out for a 75 mile ride, filled the tank with non-alcoholic regular.

Here you go.
The Fenda Extenda.
I have ABS glued it on, not drilled and plastic riveted as suggested.
My goal was to keep mud and road slime off the lower front cowling and off the front of the engine sump.
Results pending until after my first Spring ride, which is now likely still another week away.
Installed rectangular fog lights, passenger backrest riser and go cruise throttle lock. Now i just need to repalace amber tirn signal bulbs and low beams to match fogs.
Installed the shield I bought on this site. Then I test fit the Garmin HUD that works with my cell phone. The HUD is nice.
I drove it and put on 50 km.
First time since Oct.30
I was extremely happy with all my winter mods.
My favourite today was the Fenda Extenda. The splashing along the lower cowl is gone. Next was the SpeedoHealer. My speedometer now is dead on, based on a mobile radar unit in a construction zone. It's nice to know that what you see is what you get.
Also kudos go to the fork brace, which has eliminated the twisting and flexing coming off the semi-curb of my driveway onto the street.
The HID low beams are very intense, to say the least, and the low beam cutout when starting the engine works as advertised. I may have to lower the beam, but I'll wait until night riding to see if I get flashed.
The digital gear readout is cool. No more mental calculations with the speedo and tach to figure out what gear I'm downshifting into.
I'm going to take some video of the headlights, rear brake modulator, Muth LED turn signal/mirrors, the digital gear indicator, etc. I find photos don't do these things any justice, and additionally I can add my comments while videoing.
It was great getting back in the saddle. I was like the kid in the candy store again.
Hell yeah Bigbird; glad you're back on two wheels.
I'll be looking for that :icon_biggrin:
I posted it under "Accessories", here:

Hey Bigbird, great video of the mods.
Didn't finish it yet, but got a great start today.
Will let you all know how it ends tomorrow. :icon_biggrin:

Took the bike cover off and rolled her out of the garage for the 1st time since November. Washed and applied another coat of LG. Then de-badged her! Was very nervous going into this but couldn't be more pleased with the results. I got the "O" on the front badge a little too warm prior to removal and you can just barely make out the ghost-image of it. The rest of it looks b-utiful! Used fishing line, and GooGone Spray Gel to remove stickyness, then used Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 to remove blemishes. Will add "F6B" Mercedes car letters to the front fairing and back deck when this crap Ohio weather permits me to wash her again. Thanks for the tips and confidence from this forum for de-badging!
I installed the new fog lights today,I hate doing that :icon_rolleyes:

Put on the Baker Hand Wings......took MUCH longer than anticipated due to all the forum members talking about being upside down and backwards and maybe having to remove the bracket on the plexiglass and reverse it....etc.
They are on, they look good and are functional.

That BS with the Stop Clip thing not quite going on all the way was just that...BS.
It's ON now. If I'm going to ruin the finish on my plastic, I'm doing it with purpose, malice and forethought!
Cheers!
Do you become an old fogey automatically after installing Baker wings, or does that come later :icon_biggrin:
Added a steady on tail light. I like the Wig Wag light but was worried about not having a steady light when I hit the brakes. Now I have a bright LED brake light.

Took it on a morning ride.
Im with you on that stop thing wing.....Put Grip Puppies on today.....now that was easy...
@BobbyF6B: Cool tail light! I like the look... and also the light above the licence plate - nice! :yes:
@nonseven: Is this the Anniversary Edition color you have? Looks great! :yes:
Just ordered up a set of Chrome Rivco Aero Highway pegs and I haven't even picked up the new Deluxe yet so I am hoping when I do bring it home that they will be sitting here waiting to get put on the ride.
I installed the Rivco highway pegs last week and the Klock Werks dark shield yesterday. Both were very easy .
Put on a set of the (Valkerie) Honda OEM passenger floorboards.Just awaiting the delivery of my Madstad windshield.
Just got the Rivco Aero chrome Highway pegs in the mail today and broke them out of the box, Can I say darn near show chrome on these, I was impressed they are just absolutely gorgeous. I bought them thru Value accessories and found out they are cheaper there than any place else. They have silver anodized and black anodized ones also but me being a chrome junkie just had to go for the bling. Boy did I get Bling.
