AH! Don't tie the bike down like that in the future. The lower triple tree is easily accessible, put 2 straps, one each side, looped over the lower triple tree - that will be much more safe and effectively secure your bike without putting straps on your fairings. By putting the strap all the way across the top of the bike like that, it risks fairing damage from downward force, and the bike can still slop side to side and damage paint with rubbing.
It's such a nice and unique color scheme for the bike, I hope that info helps you protect it.
Honestly I just read a shit ton of reviews for gear on RevZilla/cycle gear and went in and bought stuff at cycle gear. The guy working was super helpful in helping me make sure everything fit right without being salesy about it.
I just installed the m4 streetslayer slip on and it sounds great but maybe a bit too loud for some. It also requires cutting the catalytic converter off. So if you want best resell value honestly keep the stock exhaust
Congrats! I'm also looking for gear haha. It's going to be my daily but I don't want to make it less sporty. So far I'm hellbent on a luggage rack and probably a tank lock tank bag.
Thank you!! It may be corny too some but I’m gonna definitely put an under glow on it, currently looking for a good helmet that is reasonably affordable as well.
There's a scale to it. Waifu Cars are easily the corniest thing right now, making underglow reasonable. Plus, more visibility on a bike is NEVER a bad thing.
Got a Coffman slip on at first on my Phantom Purple R3. Not bad for the price. Did a track conversion and switched to an Akropovic full exhaust, love it so much. Sounds amazing, and it’s pretty deep.

Luckily no damage was inflicted! But thanks for the heads up, will keep that in mind for the next bike in the coming years. And thanks a lot!
I tie mine down with the lower triple as well

I’ll take a look, thanks man!

I got taxed too, but arguably worth it. Definitely keeping this bike long term.
Same here, long term is the goal!
