Mock ups, looking good. Dont have to move the horn, but I will have to move the bike's end of the wiring harness to the other side. This should cut down on the amount of exposed connectors and junky looking stuff. I'll have to remove the battery to get in there.

And it looks like the best way to mount my speedo will be to buy a JSA bar clamp and put some bolts through it, then attach the bracket I've yet to make. Work work work work work...

I like so far... although that funky assymetrical BMW look takes some getting used to...

Hope you are doing as well as your bike, KillerNoodle.

All done, installed the FS6 sliders today. They are really nice. All polished up and a perfect day for a ride

Never been a fan of the naked insect head thing myself. Different strokes!

Some like carrots, others prefer cabbage.

Oh yeah, the great thing about living in college: In pic 5 you can see the arm of one of quite a few very cute sunbathers lying in the grass. So I had many nice things to look at while I was fixing the bike up

Sorry for not taking pics of them for you guys

Fixing a bike out in the open and they're staying way over there and not girlishly asking you questions? Something is wrong with this scenario.

Ahhh this is depressing, Now I'm not the only one w/ an acerbis fairing . Also when you took your front sprocket cover off were you going for my look or had no idea I've had mine off since I bought the bike.



Now we're like brothers OOHHH!!

Yeh it looks good man, how bright is the cyclopse? And I like the center gauge mount, what did you use to make it? mine is very flimsy and flaps in the wind lol.

Looks good. I like that street fighter looking headlight assmbly you've got on it. How functional is it at night? Does it work as well as stock?

Those bar end mirrors are interesting. Where did you get them? I'm not a fan of bar mounted mirrors, but those are one of the better looking sets I've seen on the bike.

I'll second crx81's comments on the bar end mirrors... Who makes them? Do they have the same amount of mass as the original bar ends and do they adequately damp those bar vibs?

"I'm picking up good vibrations."

Nice job Killernoodle. Hope you have recovered as well as your bike?
