There is a budget, sadly, although the legiron (wife) doen't need to know any of this!You are a brave man Mike, announcing on this 'ere forum thingy that you wish to spend money on aftermarket improvements! It'll be an air filter today, an exhaust tomorrow and then a full blue printed engine shortly after. Hope the pockets are deeper than a Scotsmans and you full and free access to them

It has cycleworx pipes on already, so at least it sounds like it should! As for the legiron, she doesn't need to know!They better be deeper than a scotsmans, as I have the carp210 kit, carp exhaust system, K$Ns, chadlier bars,LED lights, corbin seat etc etc etc have your wife call me and I will tell her how much it cost I am sure she will be more than happy for you to follow.

Great info there, heaps for me to go on....hey Mike...
Thunderbike Nelson for bars...K&N's you can install yourself...watch and follow the ramair install video on youtube..I watched this video all the way thru...got the tools ready, put the laptop on a stool beside the bike and started pulling things to bits. I would play a bit of the video...stop the video and do that bit...go back a tad and run the video again, do that bit...etc...it works a treat.. .You can cut the bearclaw yourself with a cutting disc in a grinder if your skills allow...if not, go for the 'Ramair'..just as good and no need to cut the bearclaw away.
You dont need a PCV but it makes tuning a lot easier....Honda Country in Ashburton are the Dyno Jet guys and Brendan and Andrew know their stuff...
Led's, i got mine from JP Cycles online https://www.jpcycles.com/...great selection and service. Installation is easy once you have a plan in mind, you will need to change the 3 pin relay plug which is on the right side of the bike under the right panel. I'm sure its the only 3 pin relay there. This needs to be done to correct the flasher speed on the indicators once led's are installed.You can get this online also. Make sure you get this one.
You should be able to access bolts and nuts easy enuff...if you cant get them local then give Blacks Fasteners in ChCh a buzz..i'm sure you have them in Blenheim too..
Blacks Fasteners supply a superior quality fasteners and tools, including Fischer fixings, supported by an experienced sales and service team to builders, engineers, trades and customers throughout New Zealand.
Cheers Tal.
I'm hoping theres an outfit somewhere that does bolt kits rather than pull them out individually and match them locally.
It has cycleworx pipes on and was mapped to suit apparently.
I could probably install the k&n s up to the point of taking to the bearclaw with my grinder, which has cluster**** written all over it.!
Theres a kit online that comes with a new bearclaw surround.
If I get a power commander at the same time I guess any worthwhile mechanic should be able to install and then tune the bike.
Many thanks,
Mike.

I'm late to the soiree, but if you go with RamAir or K&N 2780 filters you need not alter the bearclaw.
This is plenty adequate for a stock engine.
