    So did a thing...

    I know most people lurk but going to start posting more stuff to see if we can get this place jumping a bit and getting more lurkers involved. If you've gotten a new bike or mods, feel free to post up and share it!

    Even though I'm not in CO anymore and had the hardest time making the decision on this because it's flatland out here and morons behind the wheel everywhere, although the bay/beach are like 15 mins away from where I live but just wanted to ride badly and got a screaming deal on this thing so couldn't say no. It's a 2018 Tuono with 7k on it, previous owner took really good care of it and did some minor mods to it, I'm going to change a couple of things here and there but nothing drastic, bike sits well as is for the most part. One of the first couple of changes are to change the OEM tail with a smoked integrated one from motodynamics to increase safety and also aesthetics, replace the front blinkers with the newrage cycles LED set and do have a set of H7 LED bulbs from LASfit coming for it already because I will say the OEM lighting on this bike is pretty horrible, the low beams are brighter than the high beam and the low beams aren't the greatest either, they just didn't think about this very thoroughly . Otherwise the bike is an absolute monster and more so here at sea level, sounds amazing and do love that you can adjust the electronics on the fly unlike the R1 I had which you had to be at a complete stop. So yeah, here it is!

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Re: So did a thing...

    All around LED upgrade, LASFit LA Plus kit for the low beam and what a difference! (can't believe how horrible the halogen lighting is on these things), motodynamic integrated smoked tail and NRC front LED turn signals. Next will be radiator/oil cooler guards, low profile motodynamic fender eliminator (don't like the one on here now and the last owner hacked it up during install) and the GP shift linkage. Other than that, it won't be touched cosmetically for a while or if at all honestly. Think I may do gold wheels at some point but that's a big maybe.

    Post some pics biatch! How are you liking it so far man? Any other mods planned?

    I miss my 16' R1 something fierce, that bike was something else. I'm looking to do the factory cowl conversion on mine at some point to get rid of that bulky/ugly ass rear seat and will also be getting rid of the rear pegs (Akra CF hanger piece for the exhaust when that time comes as well) but of course being an Italian bike, those parts are ridiculous $$$$$, so can't justify it right now but it would improve the looks of the bike exponentially. The tail piece would make the bike look like this instead:
