Why go with the stock 48 seat? I've heard a lot of grumbling about how uncomfortable the stock seat is. I couldn't stand it myself. It was one of the first things I changed.

They occasionally show up on the classifieds here.

 

Polished up the aluminum trim on rear pulley and gave her a wax, working weekends has its benefits!!

 

got my sissy bar on and threw a good 60 miles on it. letting the lady try out the sissy bar some time this week hopefully.

 

That looks awesome JLT - love the bobbed rear fender. I think I'd prefer flat drag bars to those apes though - but that's just IMHO.

Mr T - caliper looks amazing - can wait to see it fitted and hear your views on improved braking.

 

Great job man! Looks very nice and clean love what you did with the rear fender!!!

Nice Bike WD 40 will remove the white off pulley. What AC is that?

 

Thought i'd put it on to see how the fit is and I see what you mean!! Man that fits close!! Too close really. I'll definitely need to smooth off the finish there as I think it might touch when hot!! Have you a picture of yours with the material removed? Did you just sand it off?

Remembered I bought a new stand for the bike! So I tried it out so i could spin teh front wheel and check for clearance/interference on the xr1200 caliper. Very impressed with the stand!!
