Off the grid · Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2008 11:28 pm Post subject: Best mods <30$.

1. LED lights for instruments. Night and day, literally.

2. Thrust washers to tighten up the handlebars. I just did this mod today and holy God what a difference. I can't believe how mushy they were before. Yes there is a tiny bit more vibration, but 50 miles later no ill effects.

3. Bobs wrist rest. Nuff said.

4. Sand, prep and rattle can painting the wheels flat black. Should have done it sooner, and half the maintenance now.

5. Bottle of Pledge. Awesome for fairing and cases. Water beads right off.

What say you, K11 riders!

Shoganai,
Here's the link where I bought mine, none of my local auto parts stores could look up the Rancho #1952. Kids could only look by application not the actual part #.
1952 is for the black. Like Duck mentioned in the other thread link they do come in other colors.

I bought 2 sets, with shipping, was less than $23 with Fed Ex 2 day shipping.

Ride Safe

Scott
