Wild. Nice job putting it together.

I came here from another thread and followed your link to this build thread. Just curious, if you ever considered putting your mirrors on so that they come out under the bars instead of over the top?

I know, weird, right? It just stuck in my head that way, and I have no idea why.

not weird, I actually tried them like that during mock-up. They look a lot better under IMO but the total view of the road behind me and in my blind spots was far superior with them on top. In this battle, safety won over looks

It happens to alot of us.... I am in the middle of a "while im at it" game with my front end...

started as a "upgrade my caliper" --- that turned into dual discs --- that turned into shocks --- which turned into progressive monotubes... I think it also may turn into an LED headlight swap while im already shredding the front end apart

I have $1500 in parts waiting for a major front end facelift....

thats the hard part... unbolting that first fastener knowing its not going to be back on the road until this big list is completed, when family life only gives me a couple hours here or there to disappear to the bike lift...


If it wasnt fun modifying these bikes id be alot richer...

Your transformation went well! added alot of additude to the bike.
