New windshield, 2"+ taller, new sprockets 15/42 and new non-oring chain.
New links as well to raise the rear 1". Bike feels more balanced but SERIOUSLY needs an aftermarket shock and some fork work.

The new gearing makes it feel like a motorcycle now instead of a scooter.
Might go one tooth less in the rear just to make the bike run an even 10 mph per 1k rpm in top gear.

On the second tank now and it does include some highway which the first tank didn't.
Sort of expect less mpg due to the huge load highway running puts on it.

New windshield is nice, a little smoother in some ways.
This thing coast's VERY well! Much better than the barn door that my KLX is!
