I think these guys did a great job upgrading their bike, especially considering it happened basically from the get-go.

- I would NOT use a LI battery - they are too relying on warm temperatures (where I drive it gets to minus 15 where this type of battery would simply die).
- The foodpeg thing is a bit over the top - but if needed RE itself offers bigger pegs (that are plug and play) that I use on all of my bikes.
- The barkbuster clones (see other thread here) do the same job - for a lot less, especially as they seemingly had to add some self made pieces to make them fit.
- The OEM chain lasts over 25,000km - used in heavy terrain in the mountains. Changing it on the grounds of reliability seems unnecessary, especially if you consider you get 4 or 5 OEM for one of the high priced Japanese chains. Its cheaper to change them preemptively at 20.000.
- The bash plate does its job. If it gets dented take it off and hammer it into shape. I only had to do this after 30,000km.
