Just an FYI to all, while replacing my crash bars today from a recent rough trip I found I had caused additional damage from bottoming out the rear suspension. This was not an equipment failure or the fault of the bike in any way, it was ridden very hard while loaded up and just bottomed out a few times too many. I wanted to pass on what i found so others can keep an eye out for it. A hole was worn through the inner rear fender exposing the airbox, and a screw was exposed from abrasion. I'll double check my sag/preload, pack lighter, maybe slow down a little next time
. Nice the parts are very reasonably priced.
Also, I mounted Protaper Evo Adventure handlebars. The black looks great and I finally was able to mount the heated grips. Waiting for the Acerbis hand guards to arrive any day.
