The wife and I took a 230 mile trip to Cloquet MN to see Bobbobtar (Bob and his wife Kathy) to add a few goodies to the "Pearl". Update shocks to Elka's, new plugs and wires from Bajaron, Juice Box Pro, Volt meter and finally new Corbin seat and backrest. What a task! I can't say thanks enough for the help from Bobbobtar. He had been there, done that which was super! Enjoy the pics.
Oh! Also put on new Yoshimura R-77 muffler when we got back from Durango.

With only 240 miles since most of the updates, here are some initial impressions
1) Yoshi pipe has a nice throatier sound when accelerating and levels off nicely
2) I have the JoiceBox Pro set to map 1. Seems more responsive on the throttle. MPG is still up for debate, too early yet.
3) Elka shocks are a major improvement, worth every penny to me. Unbelievable in the twisties.
4) Corbin seat needs to be broke in but not bad right from the get go. I got it with the Lamonster cut, glad I did. Love having a backrest again. The leather is the medium charcoal gray snake. I had the web done in red to go along with my CF red/black dash kit.
Wife's impressions of seat
1) Sits a little lower so she has to look around me more. (I am a fair amount to start with).
2) Backrest doesn't wrap around her like the stock one. Not complaining tho.
3) Has to come up with a easier way to get on with spring loaded backrest.
