well said, +1!
Looks really good Steve!
ok, I have some imput for ya (not that you asked)
-some big UNI filters would look great w/ your open look
-ever think about painting the carbs and intake manifolds black?
-I think your front turn signals would look better below the headlight rather than above
-maybe black out the oil cooler too?
Those are minor details, the overall package looks great. I think this was a great mod for your bike.
how's it handle?
First off,thanks for all the input,good or bad.The short ride I took with the 12-1/2" Progressives on there,rode very smoothly.The handling slowed down a bit,but is only noticeable at slower speeds.My bike was very "quick" steering before,so this is a desirable side effect for me.
The shorty shocks did point out a couple quirks that I need to take care of,first with longer shocks and second with a couple more mods. The chain grinds the bottom of the battery box when the top run straightens out upon acceleration and the kickstand mounting boss grounded out on a pretty bumpy left turn.Both are fixable.
I could paint the cooler,no problem,so...
The blinkers are on P clamps,again,no problem.They disappear when slid down parallel to the headlight..
I thought about polishing the intake tract,but not doing black yet.
And I have dreamed about a 2into1 "airbox" manifold,exiting out right,into a custom made airfilter housing.
I won`t even start with the under seat exhaust system I built in my head this morning,at 4:00am while drinking coffee on my porch.:eeek:
