Thanks bud. Picked up some new gear today
Teknic violator riding jeans with kevlar and removable knee pads
Teknic Violator Denim Jeans - Street Motorcycle - Motorcycle Superstore
and Icon super duty 2 gloves
Super Duty 2 Glove - Black | Products | Ride Icon

jeans-I love them, they are super comfortable, and other than the mesh vents and stretch spots you can't tell they aren't "normal" jeans.
gloves- The gloves feel great, but some of them are longer in the pinky finger on the left glove so I had to sort through the selection to find ones that fit right. They are a little tight but once they wear in they'll be perfect. My Icon contra jacket gets in Friday and I'm excited to get it. Two Bros gets here tomorrow!

My cans are here! But one of them has a nice rash on the tip. Little bit low and to the left of the flash reflection. Atleast I can mount them so you can't see it

Once I get off work at 5 I'm gonna start putting them on.

That glove offers almost no protection. Get something with a hard knuckle to absorb impact and if you want additional protection get something with a longer cuff if weather permits.

CANS ARE ON!!! I love how much better the bike sounds

Pro tip, If you hate wiring just as much as I do, you'll know why I was so happy to find this. I already had a FE kit and I wanted to reuse my signals. Too my joy I found out by unplugging the stock harness I could slide the nut over the connecter and not have to cut any wires.

I love these cans, I'll try to grab a sound clip tomorrow

Eh, I like them for now, I'll still probably pick up the Icon Pursuit gloves eventually. I like the short cuff style gloves so I'll stick with that style.

Thanks! I need to get a rag and get my grubby fingerprints off them but I'm very happy with how they look and sound.

What's up yal. I'll have my first bike Friday, a 2005 fz6 "faster blue". Im pretty damn excited. Only has a lower air dam as far as mods go. 10k. I'll be doing a rear fender delete for sure and brake light with integrated turns

Friday can't come soon enough

Haha how strange. The PO sent me that pic and I misunderstood him thinking that was his bike but he actually said it looked like it. Gotta love that silver and blue color combo!

 

[LERecords]

well.. at least your bike turned out awesome anyways.. even if they misrepresented it to you.. but yea.. i love my colors!! you'll enjoy them for years to come!!!

 

[PurpleZJ]

Yeah I love it, eventually I might get a swingarm decal like yours but I'm very happy with the bike right now with the two bros!

Fz1 bars came in the mail today. I'll hold off putting them on until the levers I bought come in

 

[PurpleZJ]

And I just ordered a new upper fairing to replace my broken one

 

[PurpleZJ]

Fz1 bars and two wheels levers are on

From the short ride to the shop for grip heaters I like them a lot over stock. Setting 3 feels most comfortable for me
