Title: other maintenance when fairing off?
Post by: h2smokin on October 09, 2012, 01:28:43 PM: Curious as to what other maintenance I can get done or is necessary while fairings off? I'm gonna be doing the A&R light setup which means I have to remove some fairing parts. Anything else I can do while they are off the bike? I plan on running my aux. lights I ordered and thought maybe flush the radiator? Anything I'm missing? Thanks

Whatever you do, don't swap the blinkers with car blinkers, we'll never hear the end of it 8)
