Has there been any mods on the bike yet. Would love to see some pics when it is all done!

Thank you. Nice looking batwing. I like the shark nose better though.

So far the brembo conversion has been fairly simple. I did have a little trouble getting the new chrome banjo bolts through the fittings on my brake lines, that and I had to assemble the master cylinder because I bought the housing from a chromer and got all the internals through my local dealer. The rotors and new pads are coming with my new wheels so those I haven't worked with yet, but am hoping it will come together smoothly. WVultra has a damn good conversion guide for doing the brembo upgrade...

Wheels should be coming to me soon, I hope... HogPro has the front, waiting for the back and then they can ship to me. Good thing it's still in the 30's here..

I hope so. The wait is killin me, even though it's still a little colder than I like for riding. I'm thinking I should have the wheels in my hands by next weekend and be able to get her all back together...
