Re: Upgrades / Modernization
They both look better than what is on the bike now however, my choice is the second one with the full rail at the back.

Determine if your /5 is long or short wheelbase before ordering a seat from anywhere.

Ordered and just received my new seat. It is the one with the full rail around the back. I am really happy with it and can't wait to put it on. It wasn't cheap and off course Canada Customs had to take their pound of flesh. I will post a pic once I get it on.

Re: Upgrades / Modernization
Just a comment. Every H4 LED I have come across so far, is at minimum an extra half inch longer on the back end, either with a small fan or a heat zinc. The /5 headlight shell might have enough room at the back but the /6, /7 with the wiring and fuses at the back of the shell might not. It can be a tight fit and you don't want to be touching any bare wiring board contacts.Zombie Master wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2017 3:10 pm If your headlight bulb is an H4 you can replace with an led.

Re: Upgrades / Modernization
There is one with a frontal cooling setup, so nuthin' adding to the headlight crowding. The spread of the light isn't quite adequate apparently.Chris in BC wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2017 2:17 am Just a comment.

Re: Upgrades / Modernization
Anyone remember GSPD?
I took his advice for a headlight bulb. A PIAA H4 Extreme White Plus (same 55/60 watts). Straight swap.
First time I used it at night I was convinced.

I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Re: Upgrades / Modernization
I remember him. Unless he's made a shift in direction I'll bet his GSPD is still as gorgeous as it was. (And I'll bet his women are still gorgeous and still go crazy on him as he says they always do).
Maybe I should have made some arrangements for recycling (his women).
Oooooor, maybe not!
