Default New Grips, inner fairing, bars and mirrors

Yesterday I pulled the triggger on this stuff:
PYO Monkey Bars custom cut to 10"'s in black. The idea was to get the curve and the points, but keep the hands behind the fairing. If I measured right I should be able to do that. It was a tough call not going with the 12's but after riding one, and being used to having the hands behind the fairing for the last four years, I decided to go 10's. I hope they retain the look I'm going for. Below are the 12's, so the height of the points should come just to the top of the speaker wells or the crease in the fairing, with the hands cutting right through or the upper 1/3 where the old fairing mounted mirrors would be.


I decided to do the Denim Pewter painted inner fairing vs the black that I had been considering. I like the idea of the black bars coming out of the lighter pewter fairing.

I'll put these mirrors on the bars:



The RSD Tracker for TBW were just released, so they are on order as well.



It's gonna be a couple of months before all is on the bike with the various delivery dates for the grips, fairing and bars, but I will post some pics when finished.

They have been out for a while for cables but weren't available for TBW. RSD told me I could order them for TBW and they would be available to ship in 2 weeks. We'll see TBW part number is: 06300599.

Thanks. Pullback...the pullback on the ones I rode with were actually about right and you can lay them back a bit more if you want. Just don't want to lay them back to much to ruin the lines of the bars along the fairing.
