DBob, I think Whiff has them on his bob. If not, I know I saw it here on someone's bob. Hey, did you ever get you bob straightened out? I'm still waiting for my black bassani's to show up (17 days my ****[:@]). The new dealer I'm trying suggested a SE Race Fueler. Sounds less intrusive than a SERT or PC3. I have the SE A/C & slip ons but wanted some black pipes with a little more grunt. The "new" dealer I'm trying said the Race Fueler was all I needed for that unless I planned to go bigger on the engine then they suggested the SERT. I guess we'll see once I get the pipes in and head to the dealer. Here's a couple of pics I pulled off this forum but can't remember who's it is. Sorry guys.

So the injectors made that much of a difference.[sm=confused06.gif] Maybe I should sport for some new one's from Zanotti's? I knew you were having some real issues. Not sure mine are as bad as yours but... Tell us more please. Thanks.

The bottom bike is mine. I actually have 11.5" shocks. When the stock fender was on I did not have any problems at all with clearance.

There we go, an owner of my pilfered photos. There IS NOTHING basic about your bike! I wish I had the time and dough to show and go like you. Check it out, I will "lend" you my bike so you can conduct some of your further R&D on it for me at you dime. Sounds good, huh?

Do the lowered shocks make the rear fender look lower over the rear tire. I can't really tell from the photos, but I am really into the low fender look. I could just about go to solid shocks and have a rigid dyna, but prob not. Hey BASIC how comfy is the hairpin seat? And I can't wait to see the final posts with your wheels on. I'm considering going to cobalt blue spokes on my front sort of like one of the May nominees for bike of the month. Check him out.
