`27 801 Mods

[CurveRider]

Some of the mods to my 801 during break-in which accommodate my riding style are: Pirelli Rosso IV tires that warm fast with Velcro-like edge grip, Rubber air duct deletion from the air box, Shorai Lithium Iron (not Ion) battery--5 pounds lighter and fits perfectly, Finrir bar-end mirrors, Ixil muffler, Blackened radiator covers, 15 tooth damped countershaft sprocket and Coober LM fuel module. I just installed the Coober (not very difficult) and 15T sprocket and a test ride produced joy! The 801 definitely pulls harder and runs smoother through mid-range. I'm somewhat obsessive about weight and the selective removal of unwanted parts has saved 15 pounds for a wet weight of about 406. Suspension testing is underway along with final exhaust configuration research. I suspect I'm preaching to the choir when I say the 801 is an exceptional ride...I am V-E-R-Y pleased with mine! Cheers from the Smoky Mountains, TN.

How are the new mirrors? Can you actually see what's behind you?

Thanks. I don't know if Coober is the only place, but yes, I got it directly from the Coober web site. They ship quickly.

I understand your concern and they actually work very well after adjustment to my riding style. On the mountain roads where I live, watching "my six' frequently is a survival necessity since the awesome curves are full of hard-charging sports cars (often lacking talent) and wannabe MotoGP riders (who sometimes blow their turns). I have seen bar end mirrors on some of my bikes that mostly just showed my arms but I have no complaints with these and would not use them if they didn't function well.

Thanks for the quick reply. I ordered a set of the mirrors off Amazon and they should arrive tomorrow.

I hope they work well for you.

Got them mounted. Excellent fit and finish on these mirrors. They vibrate far less than the stock mirrors. I can clearly see what's behind me.

OK, so which ones did you guys go with? The smaller 3.14" or the larger 3.7"? And does anyone have an exact link?

I went with the larger, 801-0378 model.
