Anyone spot any plastic kits for the new factory editions? I know it's still early. Haven't had any luck with any brands or oem. Looking to go all orange.

Same here.... and the wait begins :-(

FYI, I didn't get orange plastic until July for my 15 450FE and hopefully it's out sooner this time around but I doubt it.

Yeah i had a 15 FE also, it did take a while didnt it. I saw your air box cover with the handle shaved, do you have a inside picture of that? how did you do it? wanna try it and do it clean. and what did you settle on for your tps? and you got anymore tricks? Have seen your FEs looking very trick for the last few years! Gotta step up my game. haha

any idea if the 18 FE shrouds will fit the regular 16-18 bikes?

I don’t think they will because the radiators are lower now.

They definitely will not fit. The bolt and screw holes are in different spots and they line up with the sub frame and side plates differently.

I don't have a before cut pic but if you look at yours you can see exactly how much I cut off and how much bigger the air inlet area is in my other after the cut pic. I cut with a Harbor Freight whizzer and then ran it on my grinder a cpl of passes to straighten the cut a bit :-) With the TPS I settled on .64 on mine but I've got the modified air box cover, DT1 screen less cage, Straight Renegade SX4 oxygenated race fuel and the FMF slip on which all would required an even richer setting because of the amount or air I'm adding to the already lean stock setting. I adjusted 2 on my buddy's new 18.5's at the track yesterday and they're bone both stock and they both responded and ran great when bumping theirs to .61.

Thanks Digger and Joe

No problem. :-)
