well i thought id write this up to give people an idea what mods can be done yourself and what to get someone who knows what there doing to do it instead. ive had to find out the hard way with all of this so take note:
double bubble screen - very easy unscrew screen and replace - 10minute job
front fender extender - easy depends how you fix it i drilled some holes and used self taping silver screws to fit it some glue it on - 15 minutes
braided front brake lines moderate - this depends if you know how to bleed brakes if not stay clear from doing it yourself as brake fluid on your discs and pads are very bad - 1 hour
K&N air filter - easy - lift the tank up undo the lid of the air box remove the old filter and o ring seal in the lid and base of the box then place the new filter and put all back together - 15 minutes
new indicators - easy - with newer bikes these days its just a plug and play method no cutting wires or anything like that (as long as you have the right connections) once fitted check to see if they flash at the right speed as before as some bikes need a diod fitted to slow the flasher unit down - 10 mins
seat cowl, solo seat hump etc - very easy you cant get this wrong just remove old seat and place new one on - 1min job
rear hugger medium - these can be a pain not because its hard to do but because each bike has a different way of fitting and mine consisted of a bracket being made up and some holes drilled but once it was all lined up it does a good job and looks good - 1 hour
oxford heated grips moderate - pain in the but from start to finish you have to take off your old grips file down the throttle plastic sleeve file the inside of the grips as they arnt finished by oxford
then the fun part of trying to glue them on without it setting before youve got them on and making sure their in the write position otherwise you wont have an throttle, all in all great item just not much fun - 2 hours
undertray hard*** i now know why there are people out there offering a service to fit these, its because you have to get the whole back end apart stripped down with all bits and pieces flapping around, cut down the old undertray which has the battery box fit that back in, try to hold all the electrics out of the way while you find a place to mount the new tray then get the cowling back on and in place argh it wasnt fun took many of attempts to get it all back to how i wanted it and ill never be fitting one again!! - 4-5 hours
R&G crash mushrooms - medium - this varies from bike to bike but mine was interesting as i had to have all my engine mount bolts undone including the big daddy bolt that went through the frame and engine to replace the huge stud, luckily the engine stayed in when i removed them and nothing went wrong - 45mins
datatool system 4 alarm - hard - i didnt fit this alarm but watched it being done and fitted my brothers alarm back in the day which was quite easy but this new one was the same but id leave it to a pro - 3 hours
tail tidy - medium - abit fiddly to do but worth whille always buy one for your bike and not a universal one and they look cheap and nasty - 45minutes
