You guys do some serious mods! Awesome! All I did was install mounting plate for new topcase. I also drilled out the spot welds on the brackets and removed the red reflectors from the rear. (Hate reflectors)
Added small additional tail ight in place of the license plate light that flashes momentarily when I apply the brakes.
New owner
of a used Concours here (2011 with 30k miles).
Called the ex-owner's mechanic and learned that the 24k mile major service (valve adjustment etc.) was done properly which was a relief.
My Friday started with replacing fork seals as one was leaking when I bought the bike.
Noticing the coolant overflow tank was almost empty, I topped it off.
Then I started on the brake flush. The clutch slave cylinder is under the lower left fairing so took that off.
I just ordered a new Kawasaki touring seat.

My wife won't ride with me anymore cuz she can't get comfortable on either the stock seat or the Kaw low gel seat. She keep sliding forward and it hurts her back. I've heard a lot of good things about the 'new' touring seat so we'll give that a try and see what's what.

I just did the same thing recently. I doubt I have a leak, but have never added ANY coolant (nor changed it; on that long list for "some day"). So it probably just needed some.
I'll be interested in hearing what you think of it (the front part). I'm pretty attached to my Airhawk R, but one un-repairable leak could wreck a trip for me so I'm still looking for a better seat to put under it.
Soooo...
You're on year 6 or 7 on the same coolant that is supposed to be swapped out after 2 years?

My new seat was delivered yesterday. It was raining yesterday (today too) so I wasn't able to take 'er for a spin.
The seat is very well made and looks great. I installed it with no issues. I sat on the bike in my garage and the seat feels good. It's at least an inch taller, maybe more, than the Kaw low gel seat that I had on it. That's not good for me since I'm 5'5" but I'll adapt.
Think that's it
Wow! It is almost like a different bike nowNo doubt, that ECU flash is INCREDIBLE!
