Sorry Dave I missed this initially. I really don't like the looks of them and I really like the open look of the engine with those cool new heads and rocker boxes exposed. I never had them on my 2011 which supposedly ran way hotter than these M8's so I just figured I would remove them. I actually cheated and asked the dealer not to install them during the PDI process.

As for the headlights I'll head up to the dealer this week, it also appears that they forgot to plug in my radio antenna to the head unit. I know that these hidden antennas are not the best but I have zero reception.
I do agree on the look of the heads.  I left mine on mainly as the left one is where I mount the plug for my Heated gear.

Yeah, I really like the Idea of being able to plug the gear in with one hand. I need to work on that.

Here is my set up for one handed plug in.  Barley noticeable, open the black cover and plug in.

So I made it back into the dealer to have them attend to my 2 issues that I mentioned. As soon as they pulled the fairing apart the GM came out of the service department and said "you were right" the antenna was never plugged in from the factory. The antenna lead still had original shrink wrap on the plug so they removed it, plugged it in and what do ya know? It works as designed!
Then upon investigating my headlight adjustment issue they said that the adjuster was stripped?!? So they adjusted it  manually and ordered a new headlight assembly.
Oh well it sure rides nice, and a lot better vision at night! lol

Quality control was lacking when your bike was built.  Glad they got it fixed for you.

My 17 came with the old style saddlebag fastener on the frame and the screws fasteners in the bag.  They do not work at all well together.  Caught it as soon as I got home.

Speaking of saddlebags, I was riding with my buddy the other day on the freeway Dave, when I looked over and noticed his left saddlebag barely hanging on to his 2012 SESG by the speaker wires. I pulled him over and nothing was broken so he reattached it and off we went.
Hopefully there will be no more oops the factory didn't assemble it correctly moments from here on out. Although we all seem to have one of these stories don't we? lol

Another, the trim piece is harley batwing fairing trim. It has adhesive built in and keeps the frame from rubbing on the paint. Very clean look.

Kury #3144 frame has to be powder coated (only comes in chrome). Bottom bolts are dummies. You need to drill 2 holes in your fender for the top 2 bolts. Plugs right in though.

Thanks everyone, I did the same thing on my 2011 SESG back in January of 11. It also allows the month and year stickers to be seen and have proper placement.

Fullsac exhaust and TTS tuner are next. I am definitely an advocate of all of Steve's hard work, vision and insight to this forum.

That is why I use the Paul Yaffe Stealth III frame.  I do not have to drill my fender. 

Fullsac MX head pipe is a simple installation and lets you keep your factory heat shields.  It works well and is an increase in power.

The Yaffe is a great alternative but the holes that need to be drilled will never be seen and for Washington and a whole lot of other states MC plates the Kury frame allows the month and year stickers to be seen and have proper and legal placement.
