    A Few No0b Questions After Tinkering a Little...

    So, I got my new-to-me 2015 in yesterday, and was able
    to look over it a little. I have a few questions to which
    hopefully some of you more experienced guys might know
    the answer...

    1) What's the little square next to the cubby lock on the
    right fairing?
    2) What's under the cover in the right fairing, and why
    isn't there more storage there?
    3) I removed the badges, which went well, except there
    is some discoloration under the "Anniversary Eagle" and
    the "H" and "N" of the front HONDA badge. It has no
    varying texture to the touch. Any recommendations on
    remedying that on a matte silver?
    4) What does a clutch job usually run? This thing definitely
    needs a clutch.
    5) Is the intercom cable a powered line? I will never utilize it.
    6) Following the instructions, I can't get to the screen to
    customize the "opening ceremony" sequence. Am I missing a trick?
    7) Is there an aftermarket rear brake pedal in black?
    8) Are the stock stereo speakers silver in the middle? Not sure
    if mine are stock or aftermarket.
    9) What are the best after market slip-on mufflers to use with Torq Loops?

    I'm sure I'll have more questions as time goes by. I was
    happy to see the previous owner installed many of the
    mods I was planning anyway, which has greatly reduced
    the money I have to spend, of course! It came with:

    - Switchback red/amber rear LEDs.
    - Strobing brake LEDs
    - Switchback white/amber running/fog LEDs
    - Smoke front running/turn signal lenses
    - 12v power supply in glove box
    - Ergo III highway pegs (I'll be replacing them with Aeros)
    - Torq Loopz
    - Aftermarket shield (I thought it was a Stad, but it's something similar)

    I officially have the following on order:

    - Pathfinder LEDs for all the H7s
    - Switchback LEDs for the front running/turn signal lights
    - Taller passenger backrest for my wonderful bride
    - Bluetooth/amp/ground isolator mod found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTlof-fr1w8&t=165s
    - Gear indicator
    - Kuryakyn "Transformer" passenger floorboards
    - Rivco Aero footpegs to replace the Ergos

    Thanks in advance for any info, y'all!

    Hey KevinT, you are way ahead of the game as the previous owner installed many of the preferred add-ons. Here is what I can offer:

    2) What's under the cover in the right fairing, and why isn't there more storage there? - OEM Cruise control if you have it. Otherwise, coolant system cap and hoses. There is no room to add a pocket like on the left.
    7) Is there an aftermarket rear brake pedal in black? - Not that I am aware of. Easier to have yours powder coated.
    8) Are the stock stereo speakers silver in the middle? Not sure if mine are stock or aftermarket. - OEM speakers for my '13 were solid black, no silver center.
    9) What are the best after market slip-on mufflers to use with Torq Loops? Man, you will get so many answers for this one. lol I do not have Loops but I chose Bassani and love the sound.

    The "opening ceremony" sequence is difficult mainly because of the time allowed. Be sure you know each step before hand so you don't let it time out which it does quickly.

    The little square is a good place to put a Honda volt gauge. Many me included have done so.

    Ok, thanks. Previous owner must’ve installed aftermarket speakers.

    What’s its stock purpose, though?

    Yeah, I’m doing it in time, but following the directions, I never make it to the proper screen.

    Is that a reputable vendor? Haven’t heard of them.
