34. Had a 2012 for 1.5 years.

Took off my oversized windscreen and installed adventure windscreen for trails.
Figure I can take the spoiler off the top when I get to trails.
Also rerouted some wiring.
Filled up my distribution block by adding an SAE cable for a USB adapter in the rear of the bike and adding running/brake/turn lights to the side cases...oh, and flashers to the brake lights. Dont pay attention to the clutter in the garage
