You're holding out, aren't you?

None of those mods requires the bike to be stripped to the frame like that.

Actually the only parts I removed that I didn't have to were the front cowling, but it's easier to get to everything without it on. Plus it only takes 5 minutes to remove. The other part was the tail(10 minute removal), taking the opertunity to clean it well. The gas tank came out to get easy access to the SET servo that I'm removing because the slip on exhaust eliminates it. The side fairings where removed for the exhaust and oil change. The right side rear set needs to come out to pull the SET servo through.
