Title: Secondary butterflies
Post by: Goat on May 09, 2017, 07:22:09 AM: I am looking for a set of the secondary butterflies/screws to re-install on my 09. Not sure if all year models will fit. Anyone have a set lying around they don't use and want to get out of the way let me know.

Thanks!

I was hoping to avoid that, can't afford to make this a nearly $700 upgrade. I found them on Bike Bandit but am not sure about the screws, the diagram doesn't show them clearly enough so I can really be sure. Make have to just pull the trigger on that.

I paid $40 for the whole set shipping included. I see more right now for $41 to $47 with free shipping. The secondaries and screws are all the same

I see that now, I only saw the more expensive ones last I looked. Thanks for pointing that out!
