Thanks guys

tplyons, It will probably be for sale after I get to ride it for a while. Gotta pay some bills. I don't know though I like it alot. I may have to get a cheaper car lol.

LoneRyder, Bronze is very tough. Brass is probably what you're thinking. I'm a littleworried about the aluminum that's part of the reason it's raw instead of painted.I made the bushings press fit into the aluminum and the bolts are a very tight fit. I'm hoping the lack of slack will keep it from being deformed. I actually plan on making a tagbracket that will go into the passenger peg stud on the left side.

Drodd8, The drag bars are much more comfortable to be than the stockers. I'm 6'1 and it's nice to stretch out a tad more.

007Nightster,Actually the exhaustis Radii. I got them from Tedd Cycle. I'm not sure if they make some compatible with the injected bikes or not.
I was going to ask about the tolerences... The Bronze I am used to is fairly hard but tends to deform or crack when stressed over and over. I am sure there are many different alloys... Let us know how they wear... very cool as I said.

Chip - That Leperra really sets the sleak look of your bike off nicely. Thanks. Now I have finally decided on the seat I'm gonna get. Any idea if the make it for the 07 models yet? BTW - that chopped rear is killer. You going to go with a side mounted plate and tail light?

What's the eye to eye length on those struts?

He**, I've got the 10" short shocks on mine and some of those potholes really jar yah. I'd hate to feel them with struts.

Superstylin, I'm pretty sure they make one for your bike.

Thanks Booey, and yeah, the purple had to go

Thanks Rob, the struts were free other than my time, and I'm building this one on a budget. Plus,I like to pretend I'm a hardass hahaha.

WV,They're 10inches. I didn't want to go any lower right now. I was worried about clearance and the front matching up. I doubt yours rides much better than this one with as little travel as you have lol.

Bike looks amazing ChipR4cam! MUCH better than before. I love the bobbed rear fender and no fender in the front. Looks great.
