Here's my Aliexpress windscreen.

Where did you get that carrier for the back? I think I like that better than the saddlebags I have.

I actually just pulled a little conical filter off of a 50cc I have and fitted it to the throttle body. I ordered one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and it should come today so I can see how it fits.
The issue is that it runs into the little side fairing, might have to cut that and or find some kind of elbow peice to point the filter out and away from the engine.

Nice windscreen I like the shape better than mine.

Mytop case is from Revzilla Givi 29L Monokey. It unlocks to take it off the mount plate.

The K&N I purchased from Amazon did not fit, the opening is too big but luckily I had some tubing around that I was able to fit it on. I also did need to cut a hole in the plastic to make it fit, wish I did a better job with that

but I think it looks pretty cool.

It definitely sounds better, and it could be in my head, but I think it has a little better throttle response and bottom-end punch.

Removed saddle bags and installed a Givi B29NT case. I like it much better. Also installed the new windscreen I got off Aliexpress.

Took a pic of the mounting plate in case anyone wants to install one.

Good decision on the Givi the tailbox comes really handy keeping the helmet and gloves dry and secure. I go shopping at nearby and it can hold 2 bags of groceries if you do a little planning when you're shopping. I also think the silver accents/reflector matches the silver side covers very nicely.

Got my oil cooler in, but after looking at the install location and proximity to the header pipe, I decided not to install it. It really needs a shield (or better shield) since it sits right behind the front tire and I can just see a good size rock being kicked up and puncturing this thing. Also due to limited mounting options and it sitting right by the header, I'm guessing since I'm no scientist, that the heat from the header would radiate onto that cooler line that is sitting about 1/2" or less from the pipe, kinda negating the cooling effect of the cooler???

I have suggestion,
R&G Racing Oil Cooler Guard from Revzilla. It's expensive, really expensive cost more than my cooler, but an idea to make your own and just mount the cooler lower than way up the where the cylinder head is.

The price of that screen has me thinking of what I can fabricate for minimal cost, but it’s a good idea, for sure. Mine should be arriving one of these fine months...

Ok so I started to do put an exhaust on mine several months back but never finished it becouse I melted the first o2 bung with my flux core welder. But I got another o2 bung and a gas mig welder welding this one in went much better. For some reason images is not working I'll re post them later.

I used the ebay exhaust every one uses on the hawk. To put the exhaust on this bike though require s a lot more modifications to make work. To start you need to drill the holes on the header flange out to half an inch so the holes are wide engough for the studs to go through. Next the mount on the exhaust is no were near to the stock mount on the frame. I ended up cutting the mount off the frame and re welding it further back I then drilled a hole in the braket were the mount on the exhaust and frame lined up.

You will need to put heat wrap on the exhaust as its a little close to the air box and might melt it. I also ended up welding the header pipe and the middle pipe together to eliminate it haveing any chance of leaking there. That's mostly it other than grinding a few things a little to get them to fit. The new exhaust sounds grate I can deffinetly tell there is a performance gain as well did not ride much it was getting late when I got done bit did take it around the block. I used to have to help it do wheelys now it will do one in first if you crack the trottle. the exhaust I think hangs a little lower than I would like I think when I have more time I'll go back and raise it up some .

For some reason I'm haveing issues with uploading the pictures every time I put them on here they don't show up I'll post them once I figure out whats wrong.

Added the Yamaha FZ 07 MT-07 Windscreen Windshield FZ07 MT07 2018 2019 2020 which symmetrically, is a great fit. I didn't use the brackets, just drilled through the fairing and used rubber washers. I also swapped out mirrors and they coordinate well with the turn signals.[IMG]cid:EA843F2F-D929-4AB4-975C-B1E84CA61321[/IMG]

At 2525 miles second valve adjustment, this time went to .010 mm on both exhaust and intake as opposed to .005 mm exhaust and .003 mm intake. I felt both valves were tight and could not even get .005 mm on either. The bike had some light exhaust pop on decelaration, not anymore feel happy with the change. I'm now convinced these valves tighten up as miles get on them rather than loosening up the valve lash.
