Please list common mods for TE449/511

Ok, so has anyone installed the Cycra Probend CRM's on a 449? Got them on loosely atm, but having a helluva time getting the clamps to correctly align with the guard bar. Did anyone have to torch and bend them at all? Bigger pain in the ass than I was hoping for, lol.

Yes. But I got the "racer pack" complete kit that has the alloy spacer kit included: http://store.cycraracing.com/alloyspacerkit.html.

EDIT: those go on the inside mount, not the bar-end, to give you more room for controls.

Here's a pic of how they held up after a head-on with the truck in the picture (not a scratch):

Yep, I have the spacers. Got the complete kit too. so the spacers are the answer! Thanks!

EDIT: Ok, that was much, much easier. Hah! Got them right on, no problems.

Thanks, Cosmokenney!

Had to do a double take on your bike , I thought it was mine, but your rear tyre made my decision. What a great looking bike much like mine.

I ended up buying those Acerbis fork guards because the stock one broke after the first impact in cold-ish weather. The local bike shop didn't have black so I went with white, and actually like it better. I'm considering doing the same on my WR. Did the same waffling about the brush guards. Couldn't decide between red, black or white. It's too hard to match that husky red, so that made the decision easy. BTW, that MT43 is now my go to dual sport tire.
